Feedback & Reports

Despite the rest of the country basking in sunshine, the day started with wind and rain. Another great day out, with 4 fish on the dry. Lots more came to the fly but did not contact. Usually this might mean fishing too heavy, but I was using size 16 flies and 3 lb leader.

2 Rods. Almost all taken on dry - caddis and black gnat. Average length 9 in best 11 in.
Great sport very fast fiesta fish probably had further 20+ offers and lost at net. Welsh black finned trout -they have some in the Natural History Museum- trutta nigripinnis. Also see Mr Beers article in T and S re WBF
Fished here before but 3 mile track in worse than ever. Boat house derelict it all looks. Whats going on at Tyn-y-Cornell hotel/ Tal-y-llyn ?
Perhaps W and U should buy the Fishing Rights this is a special place with a unique species of trout not a shad or mussel surely this should be a priority for funds for this but I suppose it needs a run of silver tourists?
If you haven't been its one to try.

Arrived at 2.30pm and had wonderful sunshine bit of clouds a strong wind to start which eased of to nothing as evening drew in. Lake looked lovely and had 16 Brownies all on the dry fly and used several types of my own tying but the fish didnt seem fussy! Mainly used a size 16 with a grizzle hackle trimmed underneath so fly layed down in surface better with a small bit of black mole dubbing as body.
Again drove down to the lake easily in my estate.
Evening rise was fantastic with fish rising continually for several hours and great fun with some. The biggest Brownie at just over 10inches.
Back next year without a doubt!

Bugeilyn fished well on Saturday morning, I had 8 fish to just over half a pound until I left at 11am. Temperature was about 12 degrees with a gusty wind, so only the right bank was really fishable. I was using a gold bead bibio on the point to fish a little deeper, then a B&P spider on the dropper and claret dabbler on the bob. Fish came to all three, with the latter taking the majority. Lots and lots of takes and lost a few fish as well, they're quite hard to hook properly, all fish returned.

Grey, overcast, wet and windy!! Were we put off? Not a bit of it. We had a great day on this remote Llyn and were rewarded with 19 fantastic black fin trout the largest to 12". Green flies were the order of the day with sub surface sport and an occasional rise during the very infrequent sunny spells. Wonderful venue and will return in the future.

Hard weekends fishing due to strong winds making most of the lake impossible to fish. Only fished the Saturday although we booked the Sunday too due to the weather. 4 fish caught in total all pretty small of about 3-4 inches. One caught on mayfly, two on a black gnat and one on a gold headed hairs ear.

Lovely day on this magical Welsh hill "Lyn". Trout rising all day and very specific about the hatch. We never really found the exact imitation. Small and black yes but it needed to be exact. We found a few but left chastened but happy.

Drizzly day with light wind. Fished for a couple of hours right bank, past the headland, from the boat house. Tried several varieties of wets with several takes and one landed from the edge of Lillies. I love the remoteness of the place. Should be a bit fitter than me, though! Can see an angler fishing the opposite bank on Youtube!

Fished this lake before, excellent sport and the wild life that was around on the day was great. The fish put up a good fight and were very attractive fish. Would recommend everyone to try this lake, it is worth the effort to get there.

Started on the dry, but there was a strong wind and limited surface activity. Moving on the wet flies, I was soon into the first fish. Most successful fly was a Mallard and Claret.
