Feedback & Reports

Strong wind and squally showers when I started around 10.30. Fished the far side into the wind in the morning and caught close in on small Bibio. Fished in the lee of the hill in the afternoon with a few rising fish. tried a dry daddy long legs and had a few splashy rises but none stuck. Finished the day with a very small black emerging buzzer and caught a handful on that.
Over a dozen trout most around 10 inches.

Great to return to this special remote place after four years, windy and wet but two hours where two good fish with the unique black dorsal fin were caught and released, taken on a nymph, fish were deep due to conditions, no rises. Would like to spend more time here but rarely in the area, just managed to get a few hours on my own from the families holiday itinerary.
Definitely track for 4WD or good ground clearance only, note no mobile signal re health and safety. As I arrived and some walkers were just parking in the gateway to the track, not sure they were used to country code!?

Perfect conditions today,mild overcast and light breeze. Not much rising so stuck to small wets Bibio hopper taking most fish. 14 Trout mostly 8 to 10 inches. A couple of Cormorants visited in the morning but surprisingly didn't stay long.

Cold and wet day--very little surface activity. A silver march brown fished deep the most successful fly but small black also worked. As usual at Bugeilyn quite a few fish missed.

Around a dozen trout between 2 anglers best around a pound. Cold,wet,windy in the morning clearing mid afternoon.
A brief hatch of something unseen(we guessed buzzers) had the trout rising and a handful caught on small black dries.
The rest on wets.

A nice return to Bugeilyn, the view of the lake as you walk down is always such a pleasing sight. The cold wind blowing up the lake was less welcome. Very little surface activity first few fish on wets, diawl bachs at boathouse end of lake. Best fish coming later at the top end on usual small black dry flies. A hard day but as always very enjoyable to bag some of Bugeilyns hard fighting beautys.

20 typical 8-12 inch Bugeilyn trout, mostly to invictas and Greenwells just below the surface with a few to daddy long legs later in the day. Wish there was a boat, some big fish in the middle! Could we bring our own?!
