Late evening session after a boiling hot day. Approx 16 trout between 2 anglers. Most taken after 9.30pm. Best fish 1 lb 4oz with a good few 12 - 14 inch fish encountered.

Arrived after a large fry up in the café in the garage up the road about 2.30pm. Fished the deep gutters, around any deep fast water. No salmon seen but picked up four trout, one grayling and a good pike of easily 13 pounds, caught by Mick Pritch. Very few rises and what was seen seemed to be smutting on gnats. Saw a lot of coch-y-bonddu beatles late on so worth having a few patterns handy in the next week. Tight lines.

Two spinning rods using silver and gold lures brought an eventful day where we caught 4 trout (kept 2) and 4 perch which were returned. None were over a couple of lbs but we started late morning/early afternoon. The conditions were warm and very breezy.

Fished the morning, water levels low and very sunny. Had two Browns of no real size on beaded nymphs. Very little surface activity and not much fish action either. Had a great mink encounter with a very inquisitive little chap and nice kingfisher fly past. Very nice secluded lower section to the beat with a very friendly fishery owner in the farmer.

Caught 2 rainbow trout. One was 1 lb 2 oz, the other 1lb 8 oz. The first fish was caught on the west side of the reservoir about 400m north of the dam on a silver mepps type spinner.
The second fish (bigger of the two) was caught on the east side just opposite the first parking (lay-by) area, using a silver toby.
Good fishing at this lake at the moment. Second successful visit in one week.
