Craig Llyn is becoming one of my favourite places to be, I always enjoy fishing this stunning beat.
Weather was positively spring like with sunshine, a gentle beeeze and highs of 14C, a few Olives started emerging around 11:30am and a few fish started to rise to them before a very impressive hatch of March Browns occurred around midday sending the fish just upstream crazy with lots of splashy rises, I managed 3 out of season Grayling on self tied dries before the fish seemed to disappear despite a blizzard of March Browns which lasted about 20 minutes.
I fished on without much success until later in the afternoon when one or two fish started rising in the deep, slow pool in the first field, I offered them my dry fly which was taken on the first cast and resulted in a very pleasing 20 inch brown trout, a great end to the day.

great to see a good hatch off olives and march browns, two of our fish were taken on the french leader, the rest on the drys; a march Brown pattern. A good number off fish rising down the lower end off the beat. 3 good trout 1lbs to 1 1/4lbs

I had an invite with Shaun on Craig Llyn, what a lovely day out. We starting fishing by the Hut, he has there and I was greeted with a lovely hot mug of coffee to start with which was really nice on a cold bitter morning. I took a few lovely grayling fishing with pink and hares ears weighted bugs. They were a few olives about but not enough to tempt them to rise. Next we went down the bottom end called the flats we had some large grayling all on the bugs and a heavy peeping caddis on the point. We finish off at the top end with a few more grayling, it was 3.30 and decided to call it a day. What a lovely water .
