Thought I was the only one booked on the reservoir but another angler was fishing the spot I had earmarked? A beginner on stillwater trout fishing and blanked. Lovely location. Why no more stocking? Fly only - very little litter, unlike the Usk reservoir! Any tips? I hope to be back.
WUF Note: The fishing rights at Talybont are held by a local angling club so there will occasionally be club members there. All day tickets are sold via the Passport.

No fish caught, we saw at least 3 maybe 4 fish showing at the top end near the bottom croy, and at the bottom of the beat below the bridge in the deep part of the run off the pebbles. All clients had a great day and will be returning later in the year.

Lost 3 beautiful sizeable WBT from hook. All on nymph. Nice beat.

River had a hint of colour, but not the flood expected after the forecasted inch of rain for the previous night. Rises were spasmodic, firstly to Black Gnats, then to Olives then back to Black Gnat again. Not an easy day but fooled a couple.

Ideal conditions today. All fish caught on small nymph patterns and safely returned.

Fishing salmon lures (flies)but no fish caught. 3 salmon seen jumping at surface.

What a beautiful spot! We caught several small brownies, but failed to land them, they craftily spitting out the not properly taken flies! Lots of flies hatching but the fish not feeding...
Watched a MINK potter along the North bank ... There was a heron fishing off the island and a lot of mallard. Fish beginning to rise a bit as we had to leave for home!(6.30 PM)
A thoroughly enjoyable day in the most beautiful part of the world - thank you Wye and Usk Foundation for making this possible through the Passport system.
