Well , as I pulled up to the gate to do the combi lock to cross the moors to Bugeilyn, I was greeted with squally winds , dank, drizzly rain …reading twelve degrees in my truck too … jeeeeeeeeez I thought , it’s going to be a dismal day at one of my favourite stomping grounds !!!!!
But, as I tackled up, selecting two of my favourite wets for here, I had a mug of coffee from my flask , I could see the wind eddying and changing direction in the valley , kicking up different wave patterns on the Llyn …. Looked hard going …. Anyway, onwards …. Starting along the Chrimbo tree side !!!! Good sport there to be honest , even with the pokey wind ….. hitting the wets hard , great stuff !!! A slow retrieve was what they wanted today mind ..usual stamp of fish for here , some twelve inch beauties in the mix too .Rang the changes and also fished a single big bibio sedgehog on a long leader , effective too, and some lovely savage hits too it , just fished close to the Lilly lads … gotta have your wits about you and steer fish away quickly to get them cleat of the Lilly stems ,and thick rhizomes …
Managed nineteen crackers to the net , also a lot of long range releases, mainly with the big dry at range , oh well, such is life … lol !!!The wind certainly kept me on my toes , changing direction there or four times during the day …. Gggrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!! Good exercise though …….
Another fantastic day in the hills , on a favourite Llyn, give one of the Elan lakes a bash Sunday , and hopefully a wild stream end of the week…. I hope the weather stays reasonably kind, as I have a client for two days up in the Elan Valley next week …anyway, I packed up at three, some lovely sport today and nice to get a good few on the big dry sedgehog …. Great fun ,back home and a large Baileys coffee to warm up I think !!!!!!!

Dry day after a couple of wet ones, cloudy and overcast for most of the day. The sun came out in the afternoon prompting a hatch of upswing flies but there was no accompanying rise from the trout. Took two small WBT to a speculative dry fly, and lost one to a nymph in broken water at the end of the day. A good day and to be honest slightly intimidated by the size of the river.

Caught 7 trout from 5-11". Most on a Black Magic nymph, one on a dry fly. Parked at the church - this section is very wild and challenging wading. Later on moved to the bridge further upstream - here the wading is easier.
