Actually fished llyn nantlle uchaf. Sunny day so tough going. Only fished a couple of hours drifting on the boat. Got one, a couple more takes. Bibio and hoppers. Beautiful scenery.

Actually fished llyn cwellyn. Incredible day in heavy rain. All caught wading on trad wet patterns. Bibio and hoppers causing most of the action. Hatch of olives by the bank, caught on a march brown jingler to imitate. No fish taken.

Four Browns, two bows. Both bows taken.
Caught on wets on a floater and the bows on an intermediate and black minkie and hot head leech patterns. Fishing from the boat more productive than the bank

Great fighting fish

Fish sipping midges from lake, no bites on whatever flies we tried.

Be aware ticks present around lake found 3 on my waders.

Very windy day, but got some good fishing done between gales. Sadly completely still, not a touch or a single fish rising all day between all six of us. View was nice at least.

Very windy day made fishing hard. Not even so much as a tug. Nil return. However, great view of Snowdon.

I had a visit to Llyn y Dywarchen (SGLL Fishing Society). It’s a wonderful llyn location. However, I must say I was extremely disappointed by the number of disturbances. Granted this was a hot weekend with temperatures reaching 30*C. The llyn was plagued by visitors stripping off and launching themselves into the water, not to mention the paddleboarder.
The most unwelcome thing was the discovery of a poachers line, 15 metres of heavy fishing line tied around the base of a gorse plant. At first I thought it was someone’s snapped line until further exploration. The line was tight into the Llyn and as I tried to gather it in, it soon became clear that there was actually a fish attached to the end of the line. A rainbow about 1.5lb. This was a fairly primitive poachers method, the business end comprised a stopper knot, plastic bead and a rolling bullet weight. A 18” hook trace with a wormed hook.
I released the rainbow and destroyed the poachers line.

Not sure what has happened over recent years, maybe the modern influence of social media but our British countryside has been plagued by mindless idiots.

Thank you to the club for offering guest day tickets and best of luck to the club and members in tackling this systemic poaching problem across North Wales.

Brilliant dry fly fishing on a light wind. Lots of takes. All fish were caught on a sedge.
