beautiful beat with nice moderate fast 'grayling' pools. The owner said de stretch downstream bridge was also part of the beat and it holds a fine pool with good size grayling. Small sedge #18, once&away 18/20 beige/pale yellow emerger, klinkhamer small did well on long 5.20 leader with tippet 10/00.

Very nice walk to the lake and I saw three wild Carneddau Ponies on the way. No luck with the fishing though, saw a couple of fish rising near the dam area and that was it. I tried flies on the surface and also tried a sinking line, no takers this time. Its an awesome location though and worth the trip even if I wasnt lucky this time. I will go again next year

Introduced a work colleague to grayling fishing today…. A good beat to learn on with friendly wading. The grayling weren’t as co-operative as last week but showed enough interest for my colleague to bag his first ones ever. Significant interest too at the end of the day when fishy activity was noted which didn’t fit the usual pattern. Turned out to be a shoal of dace which were great fun for the last hour of the day when 8 came to hand. Good to see them ….16 fish in total, 8 grayling, 8 dace between us.

There was a match on the far bank, no where to sensibly fish without causing issues.

Would probably be good with a bit of water on.

Beautiful day., Very hard fishing!

Lovely beat, lovely day. All returned alive and well. Few lomg distance releases on small greyling. One detail to update- we couldn't unlock the gate for the top access as the lock must be new- it requires 5 not 4 digits.

Fishing a lot slower today but still very enjoyable. Always nice to see Colin and have a chat.
