2 x trout, 12 inches and 15 inches. After a day of quite breath-taking heat - for this country - a rather quiet evening with almost no rises seen, although there was a reasonably good ripple and I fished on till 10 o'clock. At least the midges stayed away and a couple of nice fish came up before dark to hit the Kate Maclaren on the top dropper. A pleasant bank-side chat with a visiting rod on a WUF ticket, who also had one.

Fairly windy conditions, little to be seen rising and no luck on a range of wet flies!

Nothing caught.

1 x trout 15 inches, Hatching Wet Olive. Another evening on Talybont, not another soul around and a cuckoo calling in the woods opposite. What a beautiful place to spend a few hours! Hard fishing tonight, though, with a colder wind and rain on the way. Two more fish came off.

3 x trout 10-13 inches, Kate Maclaren and Mallard and Claret. I love to fish a summer evening at Talybont, but won't deny it can be difficult. This year the reservoir is completely full, which restricts the bank access somewhat. Still, I started off well with three modest fish, but then went on to lose a whole load more, most of which hit the Kate on the dropper. One fish which jumped itself off at range looked like a good 2 pounder. About an hour before dusk a really cold wind got up, the air became cooler than the water and my part of the lake seemed to die.

3 brown trout between 1.5 and 2 lbs, all returned.

Very windy and gusty. Fished for a couple of hours in the afternoon catching one fish about a pound on a small muddler.
