A difficult day today, we walked the beat last night and the place was alive with hatching insects and rising trout taking what they could before the swallows took their share. This morning was a different scene with very few insects, the swallows had lost interest and the trout had vanished back into the watery depths. My fishing buddy had one on a gold headed nymph early on and then struggled to get a take although he did rise a few fish to dries later in the afternoon.
First thing in the morning I found a good trout sipping at the surface leaving barely a dimple but showing its dorsal and flicking it's tail as it did so but it was over on the far bank with three different speeds of flow between it and me which pulled my dry fly out of shape every time I got near it. I gave it up as uncatchable and moved on. Several hours later I found myself confronted with the same fish in the same place feeding the same way, by now it was a stunning sunny afternoon and standing in the clear water mid river was a glorious place to be, I tried for the fish again, covering it several times, but then I got my fly to land and drift in the right place just long enough to get a take and I was soon netting a fabulous trout of 20 inches. This was the biggest of the day but I had others of 14 and 15 inches. A difficult but rewarding day on a beautiful stretch of river, will definitely be back for more. Thank you WUF.

Wonderful day in perfect conditions. Fish taking klinks and nymphs. A few mayfly about. All fish caught in the streamy sections.

2 10" trout caught on black goldhead nymphs and a 4lb. chub below the bridge which led me a merry dance!
Conditions seemed perfect.
Several fish rising above the bridge but I couldn't tempt them, I'm a very inept dry fly angler. 4 Mayfly seen.

Lovely couple of hours on this stretch of the Llynfi with 3 trout and one grayling coming up to the dries, even had a few mayfly hatching off.

Fished the north bank. Plenty of brown trout in the stream mouth and bay. Took five Rainbows along the rocky margins. Walked and fished west of the tower but saw no fish rising. Great place for peace and quiet.

Bait used just worm. 6 fish caught 3 returned. Downfall of the day was the amount of litter and old tackle on the floor. Also the amount of hooks left in the fish after being returned. On one occasion I removed 3 hooks from a single fish before I returned it. On the plus side a lovely venue.

Fantastic piece of river - had a great day plus as a bonus one fish felt sympathy for me and he went back happy. I am very new to this game - I watched and matched the hatch as it swarmed across the river but nothing was hungry. Not a single rise. I understand someone caught 12 from here the day before so maybe they were still suffering swollen lips.

Fine sunny day with light breeze. Plenty of fish on the rise but unable to work out what they were feeding on. Two 2.5 lb rainbows caught on black viva. One scarred by what must have been a cormorant bill. An enjoyable days fishing only marred by the loud foul language used by a group of young people on a canoeing experience from a local outdoor centre.

Had a few hours nyphing the faster water and picked up 15 trout with several slipping the hook, after two hours the river was very coloured which pretty much put the fish down. Walked the rest of the beat trying my luck but to no avail. First time on this beat and it is a very nice stretch of water . An eight foot rod coped easily.
