No fish caught but plenty rising just past the aquatic vegetation but I could not cast to where they were rising since I don't have chest waders and I would catch the bank vegetation.

They were seemingly on the Coch-y-Bunddu pattern or tiny black gnats.

Stunning scenery so not a bad place to have a blank. Will invest in some proper waders for the next visit.

Lovely calm sunny day lots of fish seen toward the end of the day but they were in deeper water (probably due to the bright sun)

5 wild brownies catch and release, before lunch, 3 for my husband, 2 for me. Caught about half way up the reservoir, no luck at the further end near the weeds after lunch. Very windy , bright and sunny.

Very still and quiet evening, little wind and little sign of fishy activity. 2 nice plump healthy trout and 1 lost better jumpy one.

Hard day ... not much hatching and no fish rising, so blind casting = 0 fish.

A breezy and unseasonably cold day at Talybont reservoir, booked at the last minute after being washed off the Wye. Beautiful scenery and easy access to the water. The trout seemed to be clustered at the top end of the reservoir, and were responding to a range of small nymph patterns and fry imitations. Largest trout was a beautifully marked and coloured brown over 2lbs for MS. JH caught one brown over 1lb, and lost a few others. Bankside surgery required after MS got a fly stuck in his forehead - could have been a lot worse if glasses and a cap hadn’t been worn.

Hadn't fished Talybont for around 3-4 seasons so wasn't sure what to expect but was not disappointed! Saw another 5 anglers at the bottom end and went searching for some solitude and undisturbed water. 3 seasons weather-wise over the afternoon and managed 12 lovely brownies to the net, mostly between a pound and pound and three quarters. Fish came to a combination of small wets, dries and small lure.
