Cold downstream wind with very little fly life, enjoyable but hard going

12lb fish on a flying C

1 Salmon

Fished from 10.30 until 2.45. River running at 11 inches on the Brecon guage but the water much colder today at 6 degrees, when on Saturday it was 9 degrees. Several intervening frosty nights! A chilly, misty start but the sun eventually came out for a while late morning and the rain also duly arrived on cue, off and on, from 2 p.m. Not good. Had five fish all about 14”. Three on a flashback PTN, one on a March Brown emerger and another on a Grannom adult pattern. Some March Browns from about 2 till 3 pm, Grannom from 12.30 which trickled off, in some numbers at times, until about 2.30, and just a few LDOs along with the MBs. Not many fish rising at all. Hard going!

The rain didn’t help. But at least it wasn’t too wet for too long.

Excited delirium had almost set in as I made my way down the very eroded track to this hallowed secret Llyn. Was great to greet Bugeilyn with a slight ripple and overcast , with ominous clouds rolling over as I tackled up with a team of two , my home tied clan chief and a spider pattern , on my five weight rod , with a floating line . I began to fish just passed the lone Pine tree and had two savage takes , beautiful early season brownies, quickly admired , and then released back into the peaty cold water. Another two fish eagerly took the Clan chief , with feisty takes , another fifty yards up from the lone pine tree , again quickly released. By midday , the wind had picked up and I moved down closer to the boathouse , where I caught another two casting up to the inlet to Llyn Cwm Byr , aggressive hits again , one too the Clan Chief , and one to my spider pattern , all in all a fabulous five hours , great fun , and I shall sojourn once again to this fabulous hidden gem in search of the finny tribe !!!!!!! Cheers Llyn Bugeilyn shall catch up with you very soon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

20lb Hen fish on a Flying C this morning..

1 Salmon

1ft 9ins / cool foggy mist / drizzle in afternoon / no sign of salmon

No fish today, the fish don't seem to have woken from their winter slumber. There were a few olives coming off but not enough to wake the fish up.

There were trout rising to a little hatch of march browns, LDOs and the odd stonefly about 2/3pm.
Caught one on an adams (16") and another on a small PTN (11"). Found no other trout to be obliging or rising after the showers started.
