Up at Llyn Idwal. Very windy and heavy rain at times. For much of the time I was barely able to cast (or even stand!). I was on my way to Holyhead, and I'd paid for the ticket, so I felt obliged to give it a go. Magnificent surroundings, and plenty of exercise for legs and casting arm. Next time I might try the River Ogwen or Llyn Ogwen, as they're all included in the ticket.

First time on this beat.lots of shad about,and not many trout. Open stretch that’s not the place to be when windy,lovely pools,a bit of everything,easy wading,no fences to get over,good access,parking enclosure is a joke tbh,would just fit in there in my discovery but would be able to get out due to fence (barbed wire ),so parked next to it,only sheep in the field so not to concern,but cows have been about,as the like to scratch on vehicles and will cause serious damage. All methods worked,euro nymphing,down and across,only missed 2 on drys,cold wind kept them down.
Enough water for 2 anglers to be busy all day,4x4 is handy as the middle to lower is best for trout fishing as you can drive half way next to river.
Would definitely return to this beat.

3 Trout, 1 Chub, 9 Other

Started fishing 6pm after heavy cloud burst. Nevertheless steady rising fish in pools and riffles. All fish caught on dry fly adams 14 and 16

8 Trout

1 Grayling

Only fished for a couple of hours late afternoon. This beat is easier to wade then Hergerst beat with some nice looking pools, but although there were some mayfly about did not see any rising fish, and did not get any takes.

Showery and breezy day, river was fairly low, managed two trout with micro nymphs.

Lovely to be back at Craig Llyn. Cloudy with some heavy showers, and rather unexpectedly cold given it is June.
River was a good level. First outing with my own self-tied flies.... always a big moment in a fisherrman's life!
All caught on nymphs
