Nice evening on a lovely water. Sadly strong wind made casting quite difficult. Access to the lake side is very limited and may need some additional work to free up a bit more bankside.

Conditions were bright with hardly any wind,but there was a ripple on the water. Never caught or saw any movement or any fish rising all day although there was fly on the water.It's difficult to judge what ideal conditions would be on this water.

Well plumbed for Talybont today , after a look at the weather , still that niggling Easterly gggrrrr !!!!!!! But gave it a bash . . . . Turning up at half nine , things didn't look bad , although the sun was starting to poke through , ever good here fussy fish these Talybont brownies !!!!

Was seven degrees when I tackled up , firstly a Peter Ross , and bloody Butcher , top team for searching out hungry brownies , thinking I may get some interest in them , well having tried every thing over three hours , including a black tadpole with hot orange head , not a sniff, in fact it was totally dour to say the least !!!!

The wind was changing direction regularly and making the day really difficult , tied a good coverage of the Western shore , and even worked two buzzers enticingly in the current !!!!

Hind sight is a wonderful thing , perhaps Bugeilyn may have been a better option today , that wind here was crazy and one minute from dam end up to the top , then next minute totally the opposite , shall not be defeated , and will give it another bash sooooooon , although paying a bit more attention to the weather and stay till last light , after all it's a hundred mile round trip and thirteen quid , so nice to get the most out of it !!!!! Ha ha !!!!

That said still a cracking place to have a blank , beats being at work any day of the week !!! Shall return ready for a rematch with Salmo Trutta of Talybont !!!!!!! Happy days !

Two fish in 5hrs fishing. Overcast and chilly easterly. Small buzzer hatch late in the afternoon but no fish rising.

10C, a strong easterly and bright sunshine all day so not ideal conditions. 2 fine brownies from the top end bank later in the afternoon following a buzzer hatch. A glorious days fishing!

Just 2 two fish in five hours fishing. Varible breeze, overcast
and 8C. Both nice fish about 1lb and fought hard. Buzzer hatch in the afternoon which brought a few cruising fish to the surface but generally hard work but there again any day on Talybont is worth the effort.

Three descent browns on dry flies all taken in the morning, the sun came out at lunchtime so things slowed up a great deal from then on ..

Had a great day, conditions where good in the morning and overcast with a nice wind coming up the lake and not to bright. Fish responded on dries for a short time before sunshine Ruined it. Us anglers are never happy. Love the place :)

Bright conditions make the fishing challenging at times but we still managed around 10 lovely wild brown trout between us

Fished Talybont reservoir 10.00am to 1.30pm with LT. Buzzers hatching but very little fish activity. Way too calm and bright! Managed 3 each; nothing huge but typical healthy Talybont fish. Lost one on a long range release that looked a better fish.
