No fish today as it was very very windy, and water very choppy, but a nice walk ????

Stunning, picturesque reservoir.
Fished the east bank into the deep drop-off's.

Windy and difficult conditions. Unable to find the fish

All returned.

Reservoir very low at the start of 2022 drought. Had to work hard for 4 fish. Nice mix for the weekend combining with a day on the Ebbw. All fish came to a Captain Peacock.

Very strong wind towards the dam. Water was coloured up. Slogged hard with various flies/techniques but ended with 2 circa 8-9”. Lost a much better one at the death.

This was a tough day confirmed by the presence of only one other angler on the bank who reported that daytime catches have been sparse, with regulars waiting until the evening in the hope of better sport. In theory I was fortunate that there was quite a lot of cloud cover during the day, sometimes accompanied by the required heavy ripple, but Talybont's trout did not entirely agree with this and bar two takes that did not stick my only action involved a fish of perhaps a pound and a quarter which took the Kate Mac, a deep-bodied hen fish that was admired and returned. Dries, when I gave them a swim, were entirely ignored. A group of three cormorants flying up over the lake was not reassuring. With the lake already quiet in early summer, how will anglers fare in a month or in two months from now if the warm, bright weather has continued?..
