Feedback & Reports

Weather conditions very poor, rain and gusting winds all day long. No fish seen or taken, no action whatsoever. Very poor all round.

Blustery cold day with wind blowing from the dam down the reservoir. Fish rising but generally just out of casting range (how do they know??) although I must record a nil return, I did miss a take to a dry black gnat and hopper! Have previously caught a 3lb brownie from here so I know they are in there and can be of a good size! Will be back but must say I think it fishes better in the evening towards dusk as the water is extremely clear at present.

Snapped twice on a pheasant tail nymph and a missed take on a hare's ear. (Amateur!) Intermediate line. Lots of hatching going on but very few rises. I'll be back.

No fish caught, far to sunny & still, but reservoir was stunning in the spring sun, hope to return soon

Nil return. No offers. Just one fish seen on a very wet and windy day. Water level appeared lower than usual as the banks were smothered with rotting, slimy algae.

Single Brown Trout caught - 35cm long & just under a pound in weight ( 15 1/2 oz). Caught in bay at south end (SO 089177) on damsel nymph.
Sadly the fish had quite a few lice on it, although its general condition otherwise seemed good.
I'd tried dry fly from bridge pillars up to the bay with no luck. Very few fish seen rising - almost all before 0900, and around the bridge pillar area.
Thanks & best regards.

2 x trout 9 and 13 inches, Grouse and Claret and Cochybonddu. Another cold and windy evening.

Fished most of the day through heavy showers and a strong wind, this beautiful stillwater is not to be missed. I had one 10inch brown caught on a small gh black pattern. On a good day I think this fishery could produce some outstanding fish.

2 x trout 12-13 inches, Cochybonddu fished wet on the top dropper during late evening.

First visit to Talybont - reservoir very low, very breezy, lost two with a caddis. A large caddis hatch occurred from 11am to 4pm. Worth a visit.
