6pm to 7.30pm - Freelined (1 fixed swan shot) luncheon meat in bottom pool by wading out. 6 chub, 1.5lbs to 3lb and 2 smallish barbel. The chub were stipping meat off small spring leaving meat on inside of spring, whilst retrieving this I brought to hand 3 W B Trout 8 to 12 inch long! I have never had this happen before but suggest a similar design wet fly!
7.30pm to 9.30pm - From bank, swimfeeder and large HB pellet, 2 more chub around 3 to 4lb and 4 barbel in 6 to 8lb size, then just as rain started a sizable eel which locked onto my pliers to long for my liking. Will de-slime kit in morning.

A typical August day at Bugeilyn. Fog in the morning and hard rain in the afternoon. Enough weather windows to produce plenty of action and produce a fun day for 4 of us in this mountain fastness. About 20 trout actually released and umpteen opportunities missed. They may be small but they are quick! Black flies just under the surface seemed most effective.

First time on this beat - low and weedy, streamy runs short and pools static. Some pools still too deep for chest waders so also spent time fighting through the bankside vegetation. Some trout rising in the pools saw through my offerings all too easily. Did manage to land 2 at 10" and missed about 5 more, on adams. Not a great day but I'll try this beat again.

2 Trout

Wet fly - Pedrisen Lwyd and damsel nymph. Both returned, two others (approx. 1.5lb) hooked but lost.

Difficult once again.

Lovely venue, should have caught but the river is out of sorts at the moment for the barbel, a prolonged spell of rain is needed to freshen it up!

Nothing caught, a couple of fish jumping in Cadora pool.

River full and fast, bit like fishing in dairy milk chocolate! Blank.

Fished the Wood section. Slow but caught a few so always happy. Kayaks busy but friendly.
