Hoped the colour would have dropped out a bit overnight, but didn’t. Took one look and left, unfishable. However, drove back past the Usk and got a 13lb fresh fish there instead, every cloud!

Great fishing as always but have heard of several instances of poaching at Talybont. Have found thick mono on the banks in a couple of locations which would suggest either night lines being set up or people spinning/worming. Always keep an eye out when I’m up there but might be worth asking NRW to also look into it but aware they are very under resourced.

I did not fish. The river was in spate and pretty cloudy. It did recover but too late to make the journey.

Good action - rose a lot more so a good challenge. nice hatches of olives and Mayfly

Gusting downstream wind and bright submachine made it hard going. A few rises but nothing seemed to to entice them. Only one brownie to the net. Lovely water and plenty of fishing. Very easy access.

River was high and fish quite spooky. Not much hatching throughout the day, but landed a few smaller trout. Lovely beat!

Cefni Catch Report week ending 9th June
June is by far one of the better months to fish the Lake with insect life is booming and
the fish will have had everything thrown at them by now making them a little more shy and will have seen all manner of flies passing by.
It’s a very good time to target the larger fish which will no doubt be looking up, so floating lines should be the norm coupled with dries would be well worth a cast.
However, the change of weather certainly makes us think that summer has been and gone.
With temperatures in the single figures and cold easterly winds, the fishing has been challenging.
Also apparent is the change of wind direction on a daily basis at the lake so productive areas one day may be baron the next.
Never the less good catches are reported in the returns. Flies, lines and areas seem to be mixed.
Traditional wets like Dabblers, Invicta, Bumbles etc on slow intermediate lines seem to be taking fish together with the standard lures and nymphs along with dries seem to be working well, with fish pretty much scattered across the lake.
The fish quality continues with some excellent bags recorded with the average per angler around the 4 fish.
The annual comp was fished on Saturday the 8th which saw 12 fishing with 34 fish caught.
Elfed jones finished 3rd, Rhys Edwards took first place for 6 fish at 7lb 8oz and myself coming 2nd with 4 fish for 5lb 10 0z.
The junior competition was also held on the same evening and all did extremely well.
Cai Roberts took 3rd place, Kyle Williams 2nd and 1st to Aron Jones very well done to you all.
Please watch the Facebook page for updates on working parties, as many hands make light work.
