Feedback & Reports

A lovely day spent by the river but conditions not ideal, with hot sun all day. Saw a number of salmon in Vanstone but none showed any interest in our flies.

Saw several

An evening session, river pitifully low so the fish were incredibly spooky. A couple landed, nothing big (8/9 inchers). A late evening spinner fall failed to materialise. The bedrock sections on the lower part are like black ice, expect to slip a few times even with studs!

Colder, greyer and windier - after a very warm spell of weather - far better as sun came out in afternoon - fish then rising. River v. low. Fished flats in front of bridge (couple of trout on small dry flies) and then Euro-nymphed rapids after bridge. Pools/rocks across bend (the other side of beat) had some very big fish (I saw them 'flash' by, wading carefully into there). The Iron Blue Dun provided productive in late afternoon as sun came out - 2 very large fish (trout ?) broke my 4lb tipppet.

Did not stay late into the afternoon - which was a pity - the fish were 'switching back on' as the sun made it warmer later.

5 x trout 6-10 inches, Black Klinkhammer. Very low river and hard going this morning. Only action seemed to be caused by little black sedges in one pool.

Very enjoyable days fishing, plenty of beetles on the water so following advice from another angler who was fishing there as well I put on a brown coloured beetle fly fished on top and sometimes and just under the surface and caught at least 20 fish, lost a few and missed plenty of takes. Saw a Osprey hovering then diving into the llyn and failing to catch.

All fish returned fished dry all day as fish were showing more offers than landed, mostly on coch y bondu. Had the lake to my self
