Hooked a couple but landed nothing

Hard day, strong downstream winds and rain made fishing particularly tricky. Very little rising, despite incredible mixed hatches. Took a couple of fish on a mayfly, the rest on the duo nymph. Lost a monster in one of the runs below the waterfall.

Four BT, one excellent broad fish of 17inches+ and three smaller of ~12-14inches. All taken in the faster-moving water at the heads of the larger pools. One on the dry (kilnk) and three on small PTNs.

Plenty of fish rising in the still water at the tail of the pools but (as always) these proved totally uncatchable. Floated most of my fly box overhead or past them under the surface (they were remarkably relaxed about that) but to no avail.

River already getting quite slimy with the familiar brown algae, especially in the slower pools.

Quite a good evening rise at about 9pm

As always was great to be back up at Bugeilyn, met with a harsh wind blowing right down the lake which limited fishing options. Very top end of christmas tree bank was the only easily fishable spot.
Very little surface activity due to wind but there was a short spell of feeding late morning. Fish taken on both wets, daiwl bachs and usual small black drys. A hard but rewarding day.

Fished from 5-8pm. Warm sunny evening. Two trout caught on the beat near the fishing hut on a dry fly (large olive dun) towards the opposite bank. A few fish rising, just fished the initial downstream part of the beat up to the hut as this occupied the time I had available.
