Plenty of fish rising around 10am - 12pm, eventually caught on a dry fly a 3/4 pound perfect brownie. Lovely to see a Osprey overhead. Only fished for around 5hrs but would surely return as it's a stunning water.

beautiful day in amazing setting but difficult fishing. tried a variety of techniques and locations but not a touch all afternoon. saw some lovely fish jump and the odd fish taking daddy long legs as the skitted across the surface. weed made it difficult to get at where the fish were. i shall be back shortly!

Having parked at the southwestern parking slot close to the bird observation hide the three of us then fished the SW section of the reservoir and the inlet river in dry, breezy conditions from 11.00am - 4.00pm.
Two of the fish came from the inlet river.
Although there were few rising fish the most successful method was found to be an emerger fly drawn across the ripples by the wind.

Very short evening session. Traditional wet flies used but no takes. Saw a few jumping trout. Nice setting.

Only fished for 1.5 hrs very windy had one tug and saw one fish jump. Had limited time as had to get back home to London. Will be back also met the bailiff.

Didn't fish today as 'holiday' things got in the way. All in all a great weeks fishing. I've fished Talybont on and off since the days it was stocked but not for 4/5 years. The quality (and quantity) of the wild fish as well as the catch and release only rule is a tribute to the non-stocking policy adopted for this venue but I was surprised to see only one other angler in the four evenings I fished - perhaps it was the heatwave. The huge number of trout fry in the feeder streams bodes well for the future. I shall return!
