6 Perch, 4 trout, fished fly and worm. Very stormy conditions.

4 Trout, 6 Other

Nothing caught.

Excellent day. Not fished the reservoir for 10 years - plenty of feeding fish. Took 5 rainbows (best 2lbs 4 oz) and 1 x brown trout of approx 1lb. All taken on fly. Fished the southern bank near Glasfynydd Forest - heavily overgrown with trees (deliberately planted?) in areas that now prevent access to the bank for flyfishing - very disappointing because these areas always were productive. Please dont let this get any worse as it will become totally unfishable. Also caught and returned approx 12 perch - where have these come from? A good day though, many thanks.

Very slow day, water carrying a brown tinge from heavy rain friday. Levels up at a decent level. 20 or so to hand, biggest 15 inch smallest 6 inch, all the rest around 12-14 inch. flies used mayfly and size 18 F-fly. It was a case of waiting for rises to cover today which sapped up a lot of time and was still unable to cover whole beat.

The morning was very quiet. Nothing hatching, nothing rising. A few yellow mays and mayfly started to appear mid afternoon. Around 4pm the trout switched on and I had five fish and missed a couple more over the next hour. By 5pm everything had stopped. All fish came to a large (mayfly size) adams, who needs Mohicans, life's too short!

The river had a good flow and touch of colour. Downstream wind made life difficult. Having not fished this section (or the Wye!) before was impressed to connect for estimate 1.5lb trout on around 5th cast to hares ear. However rain and wind made life difficult and hard determined fishing and moving around found 2 grayling (12-14oz mark) to nymphs. With increasing wind eventually forced into fishing downstream and drawing back various patterns and took another trout around 1lb and briefly connected into something bigger. All fish returned. No rise to speak of although there was sporadic fly hatching. If the wind had dropped I think that things could have been different.
Thanks to the help and tactic hints from the booking office. It was great just being there.

This is a lovely wild stretch. No fish seen at all but a great adventure!

Fished from 8 till 1 . Conditions varied from cold wet and blustery, to calm warm and sunny. Steady hatch of yellow may Duns. No fish rising. Lost one on down stream nymph at the fast water in the middle of the beat.
