Well the love affair continues . . . . . Bugeilyn greeted me with a sunny glimmer and a brisk Northerly breeze at midday . She's top of my wild stillwaters , closely followed by Llyn Adar , Gwgia, and Llyn Teifi and today was a great sporting day . I started off on the western banks half way down , fishing a variety of small home tied traditional wets , having three good takes from this area , and quickly releasing three beautifully marked brownies , between eight and ten inches . I moved up to the lone pine tree changing tactics , the team of two being my own flashback GRHE , and butcher on the dropper, again hitting into several lovely fish , quickly admired and returned . For fun I'd brought along my seven foot , three weight spilt cane rod , made for me by a fabulous chap from up Oswestry , Sid Diggory .It was great to rig up a couple of tiny nymphs and catch a couple of hard fighting wild brownies with it , superb , the split cane rod seems to come alive , awesome !!!!!. I completed the day by fishing in the boathouse bay , tying on a single small sedge pattern on a long tapered leader , and had two lovely takes , and two missed ones as well !!!!!!! Wild Wales fishing at its best , and with eleven black finned beauties caught and returned , it almost seemed a shame to pack up at half six , ahhhhh well hopefully head down to this jewel in May , which spookily enough is next week ha ha !!!

Another great days fishing, all fish taken on dry fly. Very windy and cold, but sunny in the afternoon.

Great to be back on Bugueilin, weather OK, bit windy blowing across from right to left made fishing difficult along left bank. Easier casting further up where I had first few fish. Made way round lake, casting much better having knocked the rust off. Still missed and lost as many as caught. Last fish in boathouse bay, started with Mallard and claret then switched to Bilbio caught on both. Very nice way to start season.

Excited delirium had almost set in as I made my way down the very eroded track to this hallowed secret Llyn. Was great to greet Bugeilyn with a slight ripple and overcast , with ominous clouds rolling over as I tackled up with a team of two , my home tied clan chief and a spider pattern , on my five weight rod , with a floating line . I began to fish just passed the lone Pine tree and had two savage takes , beautiful early season brownies, quickly admired , and then released back into the peaty cold water. Another two fish eagerly took the Clan chief , with feisty takes , another fifty yards up from the lone pine tree , again quickly released. By midday , the wind had picked up and I moved down closer to the boathouse , where I caught another two casting up to the inlet to Llyn Cwm Byr , aggressive hits again , one too the Clan Chief , and one to my spider pattern , all in all a fabulous five hours , great fun , and I shall sojourn once again to this fabulous hidden gem in search of the finny tribe !!!!!!! Cheers Llyn Bugeilyn shall catch up with you very soon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had another great day at this gem of a lake. Was blowing a hoolie when I initially turned up which made the top end fishable opposite the culvert and with intermittent sun coming through the low clouds, caught on my home tied flash back PTN and bibio variants. There were some savage takes by the usual fiesty black finned brown trout and with the high winds only fished a team of two during the six hour fishing session. When the wind did drop slightly, the fish moved up and takes were good in the wave. As usual had a fun time at this marvellous location and caught eight beautifully marked brownies , all quickly released to fight another day !!!!!!!! M
ay just squeeeeeeeeeeze another session in at this special Llyn before the end of the season, as usual thanks for a smashing day Llyn Bugeilyn !!!!!!!!!

All fish caught on hoppers. This is not the easiest of places to fish, it has some very boggy areas which you have to cross to get to any half decent ground. The rest is tussocks of heather and grass, hiding deep holes so great care is needed. In my opinion this isn't a place to go alone and I won't be going again.
