Only fished late afternoon and evening. The fish were slow to start rising but when they did several takes on mayfly patterns. Weather a bit cold and breezy in the evening.

I wandered up the hill with my two mates to fish Llyn Ffynnon Lloer and had a beauty of 14" on a wet fly (fat and in great condition) with other interest from fish but no more landed by me. My highest altitude trout to date. We then returned to the valley floor and fished Llyn Ogwen. I had 5 to 6 small browns (dark and with bulging eyes) plus a fit, healthy looking rainbow of about a pound and a half. All fish were returned. It was bright and sunny all day and the views were stunning. Lovely place.

Beautiful river, tough fishing (perhaps as expected from the Irfon these days? Out of interest, is WUF still liming the river's headwaters, and if not, when did this project end? My own fishing diary says things on the Irfon started getting much more difficult from about 2007).

Anyhow, this visit produced 1x 8 inch trout, caught by swinging an emerger at range in an otherwise inaccessible bedrock area: intensive nymphing before and after in good-looking pools and runs showed up nothing at all. Still, I'll aim to be back!
