Went to Talybont res in the morning for 8 am lovely day but to windy tried gold head buzzer on the lead with a black olive stayed there until 11am then came back for 7.30pm until 9.00pm the water was lovely and calm so went for a size 16 dry fly had a lovely brownie come up for it twice but missed it my fault but will be going back for another go. The only thing I was concerned about is the amount of slurry that is on the banks each side of the stone blocks ????

WUF note probably not slurry but possibly dead weed growth

hot weather didnt help with the fishing ,lots of public there ,kids throwing stones in the water etc ,probably better early /late season,but all said an enjoyable afternoon

Fished west bank with various methods, no takes & only one fish spotted. Beautiful scenery in any case.

I fished from 6pm until 9 hoping to catch the evening rise but there wasn't one really. I started near the old bridge pillars for an hour and half but didn't have any interest in wets, dries or lures.
I then went up to the top end of the reservoir for last hour or so and had one brownie to an Invicta when a few fish started rising sporadically. It was a vicious strike from a fish of about a pound which fought like one three times it's size.
It was flat calm when I left the reservoir but the only things breaking the surface were the wildfowl. Still, a lovely evening in a stunning location.

A strong wind was blowing from the dam direcation which made fishing difficult. I fished from the southern end to half way down along the western bank, mainly looking for sheltered bays, and had one brownie on a Coch.

0 trout. Beautiful weather. Seen several trout rising, but didn’t catch one.

Bright sunny day with just a few little clouds. Wind about 3Bft SE. I fished from the west bank and started with a wet and a buzzer under a strike indicator made out of yarn. I saw fish rising but beyond casting reach for me. I kept casting in the direction of the rises but I was about 30 feet short. When I noticed that trout was attacking my strike indicator, I changed to a bushy black dry and I got one serious strike, wich I managed to miss because I tried to set the hook by lifting the rod in stead of striking it with my fly line in the water and keeping contact that way. So, I didn’t land any fish, but I had a great day casting and one big adrenaline rush from a violent strike and all that in a stunning scenery.
