very windy and cold, not the best day to go fishing. Looked a really good lake and I will return before the end of the season.

2 x 3/4 lb browns caught and released (one about 6' from bank!), one on a dry, another on a traditional wet. Extensive surface hatch, many rises. Some weed in the lake. Everything looked very healthy up there, outstanding fishing.

Incredible location the scenery was breathtakingly beautiful. Managed two wild brownies around 1lb both carefully released by my ghillie. Thank you!

No fish caught. Very windy

That hike doesn't get any easier but such a spectacular setting and very pretty trout. Unfortunately none of the larger residents were dining today.

Ffynnon lloer is the highest fishable lake in Wales (look out for upcoming content on the Fishing In Wales blog!) it was a tough climb, over an hour and very steep. Another breath-taking place with incredible views. The lake was calm, making it very hard going - in parts it is very shallow and gin clear. A few fish were rising, but beyond range. Looked like good fish. One was caught of 3/4lb not long after we started. After climb down we tried llyn idwal on other side of valley. Walk much easier about 20 minutes. Some stunning trout here, from 10 to 13 inches, a good few about 12 inch. Tourists everywhere here, so worth taking a float tube.

Great water, plenty of fish moving but wind too strong and in the wrong direction to get a fly out to them. Had two on briefly and a couple of splashes but generally casting straight with the line ending up side ways was the tale of the day. Despite the blank a lovely scenic water
