Fished llyn cwellyn for a few hours. Spectacular location. The llyn is gin clear and was full of pretty golden fish from 8 to 11 inches. Bank fishing is easy on the road side, with good wading. (You must use NP carpark which is £6 a day) After fishing Cwellyn we tried llynnau cwm silyn. Walk about 40 minutes up the track. These lakes are located under a towering crag, like something out of 'Lord of the Rings'. The upper llyn is hard to fish being shallow in parts and water is almost transparent. Some fish seen and lost here (appeared very small) the lower llyn was more productive, a number of fish 7 to 11 inches caught. This llyn is deeper in the margins and seemed less sterile with weed which held fish close to drop offs. Great day out.

River low and slow. Had to search for fish and found them near a far bank snag. Hard going but at least it was a nice sunny day

Dificult day. Bright sunshine, horrible upstream wind. I have to blame something for an abject performance.
Only fished bottom of beat, started off on the dry. Only saw 1 fish rise all day, and spent 30 minutes trying to catch it. Through every fly in the box at it but no joy.
After coffee and a pie switched to French leader on the 11' 3wt. Still no joy, but did briefly hook up with 2 fish, both felt like decent ones. Unfortunately they both bumped off.
Lovely beat, and will be back. Thank goodness for felt soles. Rocks on bottom of the beat would be treacherous without.

Fishing very good in the morning not that good in the afternoon but still a great place to be fishing
