My friend and I fished Talybont for the third time in 2 years and always enjoy its beauty and chance to catch brown trout. It was a wet and windy day so fishing was tough. I caught 2 nice trout and had 3 or 4 takes on a pheasant tail nymph with a hares ear thorax and a dawl back. I started on wet flies but no luck. There was a hatch of olives but little to nothing rising thus the change to the nymphs. My friend caught one small trout on a hopper. Lovely place to fish and will be back hopefully in nicer weather conditions.

Warm, SW wind though too much sun. Plenty of interest in a range of techniques. Eleven trout landed to 35 cm though one that fell off after the first run felt bigger. Some trout still carrying Argulus. Lovely afternoon's fishing for October.

First time fly fishing on a reservoir. Didn’t catch but learnt a lot.

Reservoir flooded and murky red brown. Found some clear water at a stream inlet and caught some good sized fish on variety of dark flies. Also had some success stripping back very bright lures quickly through murk.

It's good to have a decent wind to fish Talybont loch style but you can have too much of a good thing. Ex-hurricane winds brought a tree down blocking the road up from Talybont, made fishing very difficult at times and wave action muddied the water near some banks. But in the right places, trout were keen to have a go at the flies, especially the bob. I only landed five up to 14" but had plenty of other interest. Judging from some that came off, many were probably small. Fish in good condition though a couple still carrying freshwater fish lice.

It fished well but a good number of fish were thin with a few carrying argulus lice.

Just 1 small trout on a half-hog. The fish did seem a bit picky and there was nothing moving despite quite nice conditions. I rang the changes but to no avail. Another guy, clearly very experienced, had a lot more success in moving fish as well as catching several, primarily to a Zulu, which unfortunately I didn't have!
