Very small trout only rising. No fish.

Bright sunny day with a gentle upstream breeze, river very low and clear.

Started at the bottom of the beat and saw fish taking regularly off the top. These were very gentle rises, and at first I thought they were small fish, however I got within about 30ft of a 12 inch fish feeding in about 10 inches of water. I presented 10 different fly patters to this fish, ranging from size 14 to size 20 and never once did it move off station to even look at the fly. I also tried sub surface flies, and the lightest tippet I had with me not slightest bit of interest.

As I was directly below this fish I tried to spot anything in the water that it might be taking, but I really couldn't see anything, even when kneeling and putting my hand on the bottom for some contrast.

There were two hatches during the day which brought on some sporadic rises, and I did manage to get three takes, but missed two and lost one.

All of the fish I caught came from the faster runs on the nymph, although I did lose a particularly large fish that I thought was a rock when I hooked it. I'm guessing me trying to flick the fly off the "rock" didn't help the hook hold!

Strong cold wind blowing from dam end, bright sun . one WBT est 1.25 lbs 1 smaller. Challenging day but enjoyable.

As always such a pleasure to see Bugeilyn come into sight as you round the crest, conditions not exactly ideal, v sunny, wind intially blowing down the Llyn toward boathouse. Made our way upto the top end on the left bank and picked up a few. It really came on later in the day when a hatch got the fish rising and all taken off the top on the usual dries. The stamp of the fish has definatly improved, all a good size and fiesty.
We were not the only ones fishing either, we had the pleasure of watching an Osprey circling and diving in and on its third attempt made off with a trout in its claws, very impressive.
