Fly Only area. Broken cloud and strong S.W.breeze. Started slowly but once I found the right depth etc. I was hitting fish on a regular basis. Very little surface activity and managed to land 5 fish which were taken on GRHE nymph. Things went quiet late afternoon and managed to take fish number 6 on a small muddler headed sedge type pattern on the surface. A great day.
It's a shame that such a fantastic venue is so neglected by Welsh Water. So much more could be done to improve access to the Fly Only sections of water and as always, discarded litter is evident everywhere.

Started fishing early and for 4 hours caught only small perch on the bay on worms, both float fished and on the bottom. Nothing on my fly rod even though some fish were seen rising, then again I am a novice at fly fishing and don't even know what flies to use! Later I moved to the slope by the dam wall and managed another 3 perch and 3 trout to the bubble float fished worm, too windy to fly fish. All fish returned to fight another day.

We also caught perch. We used worm as bait floating between 3 and 5ft off the bottom, all 4 fish were caught on worm. We also tried float fishing and spinning but had no luck with these methods.
Whilst fishing there was a diseased trout with a skin condition struggling to stay alive, swimming on top of water near banking. I was able to catch this fish with the landing net and subsequently put it out of its misery.

Disappointing day - fished from 10.30 until 5.30 on the inlet on the NE side using every type of fly I had in my box - 1 fish taken, about 1 & 3/4lbs (just enough for dinner for 2) on 6 fish ticket. No other interest.
Weather light rain in the morning but brightening in the afternoon. Wind initially light from W but freshened a bit and still no warmth in it.
Lots of fish rolling about on the surface but they wouldn't take a fly. I think my fish had been put in today as its dorsal fin was pretty much non existent. It did make great eating though! I think the water is still too cold, or I need to improve dramatically!
