A cold and overcast day with no fish rising and no insect life, but there had been a lot of Daddy Longlegs about in the hills for the previous few days. A size 12 brown, foam body, imitation accounted for all the fish caught. It worked best floating high on the surface and seemed to draw the fish up from anywhere on the lake. A very enjoyable day.

We had visited in May on a very bright and blustery day and not done that well. So, we were excited about the overcast weather and hoped for better results. Four fish each caught - all fighting-fit Llyn trout around 12". Most caught to dry but a couple to wet. We will keep trying for one of those 20 fish days!

Fished from 10:30 to 15:00 using Butcher and Bibio hopper size 12 flies.
Went right from the boat house past the lonesome pine to the boggy area beyond.
Plenty of fish around the lily pads including a nice fish of around 16 inches and a double hookup at one point which was interesting getting them out of the lily pads.
Sport slowed in the afternoon as the temperature dropped markedly and rain started around 15:00.

Another great day at Llyn Buguilyn, sunny and almost windless not ideal but lots of activity on top. All taken on small black dries. Left bank in first session then right bank upto the christmas tree. Most fish in morning , most of afternoon lake was like a millpond.

First visit here and thought I had picked the wrong day when I arrived to torrential rain. Had a cup of Tea in the car waiting for the rain to stop which it did around 11.30. Fished left from the boat house and had interest from the start.
Fished 2 flies Bibio and Butcher both size 12. Excellent average size of fish with the smallest around 8 inch but most 10 to 12 inches. Sport slowed in the afternoon as the sun got stronger and I called it a day around 4.

Few hours in afternoon, beaten by winds and rain- such is fishing the upland Llyns. No fish caught, despite trying variety of flies. Drove down to boat house.

Water was very warm (19C). No surface action till very late- we were packing up. Otherwise we tried to find deep water. Fished trad wets, nymphs and buzzers through whole depth. Nothing. Usually get several but total blank today. Wind meant couldn't fish the Marsh side easily till late.

Had a few hours at the end of a trip to visit this stunning place . It’s a long walk from parking at the gate , but easy to navigate. A stunning llyn with some great fighting brown trout.
Not the easiest place to fish, really boggy in areas , and some dodgy holes in the ground to watch out for when walking . Fished both sides, caught on both. To walk around the west side , looked too boggy to go around from the boat hut, so took the safer option from the road back by the house ruins. Played it safe as I was fishing solo. Fished 3 flies , Diawl Bach, ptn and Bibio, fish took a liking to all three .
