First visit to Craig Llyn, a cracking beat, excellent set up, with good access and plenty of different features to fish.
River nice and clear, could have done with a bit more cloud cover but it made sitting on the bank very enjoyable so always a trade off!
The top part of the beat especially interesting with lots of "fishy" spots. Not much surface feeding, although I did spot some large grayling.
Next two pools had a bit more visible activity but ultimately we failed to find the trout. All fish caught on dry fly.
Clearly a beat with masses of grayling, often of good size, am sure the trout are there too.

nothing at all

A very bright and sunny day so not much in the way of action! The holiday cottage on the downstream side of the bridge was occupied so I only fished upstream. The pool by the undercut bank was occupied by some cows so I was unable to fish this section from which I had previously caught. The next fish-able section contained an otter so there was nothing seen in that location either. Pushing further up the river saw a couple of rising fish. Both fish spotted rising were deep under the tree cover making casting challenging. I was unable to see what they were rising to so tried a size 14 deer haired humped mayfly imitation and succeeded in landing a small (8-9 inch) WBT. I also manage to miss the second fish on the same pattern. A lovely day but the prevailing conditions were not really in my favour.

Brisk North easterly wind and bright sun but a good day with plenty of rising fish in the afternoon most of our fish were caught by the dam wall off the boat.
