A nice beat but only managed to get as far as the foot bridge due to a late start. River on its bones today and I would like to come back when there 's a bit more water.

1 carp. Sweetcorn. Blustery and cold. No signs of activity anywhere. Lake is evidently below normal water level.

Late evening session – arrived at 6.30pm straight from work. It did not start well, we encountered a poacher on the beach section who had arrived by Kayak. Drinking a flagon of cider and using a feeble pop up rod he was convinced it was his god given right to fish wherever he liked as long as nobody was about! Threat of calling a bailiff and the farmer eventually got rid of him. What was also disappointing was amount of rubbish left on the banks here, clearly from passing boat traffic. Bites were slow to begin with but as it got dark things picked up – CT had 4 barbel to 7lb 12oz, plus 5 chub to 4lb. SH 2 barbel best 9lb 12oz.

6 Barbel, 5 Chub

Best of my three day trip. 8 Barbel, best fish was 8lb 10oz late in the day. River very low and clear.

8 Barbel

Great day but didn't see a fish yet alone catch one!

6 Barbel

After having a good day and a bad day on Courtfield, I thought I would have a good day on Wyebank - 3.30 am start for fishing 6.30 to lunch, but - not a bite! Fished bottom pool and two other pegs above, but pellet, spam and even trotted sweetcorn did not generate any interest. It looks perfect for barbel, but just couldn't even get a small one...

Lovely beat, great weather and friendly people at the campsite. Water was low and it was overcast. Took 2 lovely Grayling [first ever] and drew a few WBT to dry flies but no takers.
There was a plentiful supply of flies rising most of the day which was great to see. Better anglers would have taken many more fish but we enjoyed the day nonetheless and will be back again.

Nice to be back for a fishing session at this gem of a lake. Overcast and a slight ripple when I turned up at about eight in the morning !!!!!!!!!! Looked promising but initially dries didn't provoke any interest at all, so my bibio and spider patterns in very small sizes did the business to start the day, and had some savage takes from the famed black finned brown trout, from the rocky outcrop area hundred yards down from the bothy. Later on in the day, my home tied small sedge patterns worked on the top, and had another five on the dries, all released quickly, each one slightly differently marked, but all stunning. The surface activity dried up mid afternoon , so opted for the small wets again, and had another two, and several missed fish , but overall a really fun session at this spectacular spot , with twelve beautiful trout caught. As the clouds came in thick and low, it was time to call it a day at half four, as I drove up passed the crumbling stone barn, most of the Llyn was enveloped in thick cloud, a nice sight at the end of another great fishing day at this special place .

Started near the dam area mid afternoon, made a nice change to use a spinner for a little while but no offers. Decided to grab the fly rod and vest and walk to the south end of the lake... covered a lot of water and did not see a fish. I spoke to a few anglers bait fishing near the ticket machine that appeared to be regulars and they said they had never seen it so bad, there were around another seven anglers in view there and none of them appeared to be catching either. Still a very enjoyable first visit to the venue, I notice that some trout venues often fish poorly this time of the year so I'll return a little later in the season to see how it goes.
