The river was in spate so a wash-out of a day. Too dangerous to try and get into the water. Also many trees down blocking access.

had 4 today three on bottom 1 on floating all in all a good day

The brook was full and muddy after all the recent rain.
Nothing rising, but 5 trout in 2hrs to a pheasant tail nymph. 8-10 inch all in the deeper pools.

I arrived early in heavy rain, high winds, 8 degrees and white horses breaking all over the lake, so wasn't overly optimistic. Fished from the damn up the east bank using trad wets and nymph/buzzer teams but with no joy. By lunchtime the wind had died down and temperatures climbed slightly which set off a decent sedge and caddis hatch but didn't see a single fish rise all day. I concentrated my afternoon at the damn wall as it was more sheltered and caught a very small but beautifully marked trout on a black pennell at point fly. I had another on shortly after but it quickly came off again. The west and northern east banks have a really wild feel about them and i cant wait to come back hopefully in better weather.

Saturday wasn't good as I've expected. So many bites on a float or from the bottom. My favorite trout spoons and spinners didn't work at all. Fish was too lazy to attack anything fast moving.

River too high - did not fish.

Rivers too swollen to fish. Will try again next year!

Well with all the rivers out of play , I was debating whether to give Gwgia a bash or Beacons , in the end plumbed for Beacons reservoir; bowled up at about half ten , overcast slight drizzle petering out to nearly nothing , a lovely trouty ripple and reading thirteen degrees in my truck , sorted , a good start !!!!!!

Tackled up with my old nine foot six weight Orvis , and a team of wets I always swear by as my wild brownie rig , and got going , obviously the reservoir was topped right up with fresh water , the amount of rain we've had this last week , and driving there , the Llynfi looked like melted chocolate over Pontithel !!!!!!!! So a nice change being on the reservoir instead of the confines of the Arrow or the Lugg , and sport was bang on once I'd found the fish , and the retrieve they wanted . . . . .

Smash takes on my home tied wets , lovely sport too , all gorgeous fish , ranging from twelve to sixteen inches , absolute beauties .And I've found a real hotspot that they like too , if you explore when your there you'll find it too , smashing sport , seven lovely brownies caught and released this morning .

During the five hours I was there , had a couple of crackers not quite made it to the net , but that's how it's goes . . . At oneish some rises also appearing fairly far out , but with sport pretty consistent with what I had on , I stayed with the wets just sub surface . . . . Still a fair bit of rubbish on the A470 side , bit of a shame , I took one bag full home with me , if everyone did that it would soon be nice and tidy , it's such a pity folks have to dump their burger cartons and drinks bottles , oh and up at the top end there appears to be the remains of a tent , now that's been there for an age !!!! Thought the MTAA club may have done a quick tidy up to be honest !!

A superb few hours here , and it didn't rain once , the time I was there , how flukey is that !!!!! It did driving home through Bronllys . . . . And I didn't even stop for a cake and a coffee at the Honey Cafe , now that was being extremely disciplined , ha ha !!!!! Next time though , a fun day on the reservoir , back soon . . . . . . . Great fun !!!!
