The pictures on FP did not disappoint. This is a beautiful place. Could not believe how many people visit here! On a Tuesday in late September including school trips it is no exaggeration to say between 100 - 150 people came to the Llyn. Access is easy and with a car park, cafe and facilities only a 15 minute walk away plus the incredible scenery you can see why it is so popular.

Fishing wise nothing to report. Conditions were challenging but not impossible just unrelenting wind that made only about a 1/3 of the Llyn fishable.
Couldn’t find a fish with anything from dry flies, wet flies, nymphs. Gin clear water and in better conditions probably a super mid week spot to try again.

Granted there are no bad days on the river. But today came close: hard work for little reward. The river had a low, glassy and clueless look and the weather was warm and windy, occasionally wildly so. There were precious few fish about. Even the places that had been generous back in May seemed void of life. I did register a couple of bumps on the nymphs and did finally land one, again on a nymph right up the top of the beat.

Low water and lack of access points to the river make for a limited day's fishing! Shame as its a lovely stretch!
Chub fell to pellet waggler and rolled meat!

Good days fishing as always at Home fishery, both anglers caught barbel from 6 lb up to 9 lb 2 with two nice 8lb fish. Fish in great condition and all fish actually looked bigger in the net than actually were.

8 Barbel, 2 Chub

Windy conditions but fishable.
Blanked

All on nymphs, two of the biggest grayling about 1.5lb each. You definitely need a wading stick for this beat, I used one but still went for a swim.

2 Trout, 3 Grayling

Funny old day,hard going lower beat,water to low to make much of it tbh. Few fish up by bridge on nymphs euro style and clink and dink up to 2 lbs. Short beat,with a lot of water hard to fish with hight banks ,nice setting mind and probably would return next season.

No fish rising

Quite windy, 15mph at times and over cast with the threat of rain that cleared by mid-day. Downstream nymphing with a single size 16 rose pink beaded grhe was the chosen tactic that yielded three trout. The second one was a stunner, all bejewelled with classic red dots and quite buttery underbelly , a really nice fish at 13". Tried a team of nymphs, beadheads of various colours alongside a selection of spiders but only one tug in two hours. The water was low so stuck to faster moving water. The river needs a flush through as the bedrock is becoming slimy. A lovely beat as always, accompanied by the usual kingfishers, dippers and sand martins (who haven't migrated yet)
