A day of sun and heavy showers and cool - only 10 deg by late afternoon. Enough fish rising to keep the interest up all the time I was there. Olives, sedges and midges especially just after the rain and a few mayflies.
6 browns to just over a pound and one small grayling - all on a dry fly.

5 Brown trout all returned. Wonderful dry fly fishing (until the rain came and the wind changed) on small klinkhamers. Lovely beat in a stunning valley.

Return is one trout about a pound and a good shad of about 2 pounds. Quite a shoal of them at the top of the beat.

16 WBT plus quite a few grayling. Good average size of trout, biggest 14", grayling biggest 10". Had to work quite hard for the fish but better weather than earlier in the week, less wind and warmer made a difference with a fair few flies including mayflies, but lots of rises seemed to be to emergers. Most caught on small klinkhammers, Adams and the odd big mayfly pattern.
Shared a lovely day with a heron, herd of bullocks, a mink and a very nice gentleman who apparently had permission to fish for grayling from the "colonel".

A nice couple hours evening fishing. Despite the cool temperatures there was still reasonable hatches of olives and yellow mays. 5 BT to 12", 2 small, out of season grayling and 2 dace, all to cdc olive emerger patterns.

Water levels higher than last visit and coloured. Spent the morning spinning with everything known to man with no sucess.
Caravans taken possession of field below the bridge so left them in peace and decide to go home at lunch time
Second visit to this beat score = fish 2 me 0

Beautiful water but cold & windy conditions again made the fishing challenging with minimal surface activity. On advice from Stuart Jarvis who was also fishing, we stuck mainly to Czech nymphing and had 8 - 10 smaller fish to 3/4 lb, all returned.

3 Trout all on dry fly (olive pattern) 6" to 8" fish. Thanks.

Cold windy day . Heavy rain and very gusty conditions. Recent water in Llyn.
Caught about dozen small fish ( about 1/3 lb. ) in no time on traditional loch wet flies - the usual here.
But landed a magnificent "black trout" about 1 1/4 lb black back and dorsal fin , bottle green flanks with irridescent golden / red spots - a beauty for here. Caught on a gold head abot 10 feet from side near water lilies at bottom of llyn. Will come again.
Weather worsened evacuated to the warm.

Fished most of the day through heavy showers and a strong wind, this beautiful stillwater is not to be missed. I had one 10inch brown caught on a small gh black pattern. On a good day I think this fishery could produce some outstanding fish.
