Cool overcast and looking like a good day as I had a bimble with the pooch out at six bells ! Had some jobs to do but a few spare hours in the morning so headed for the Whittern beat ,.as its very local and an easy wade as well !!!

Looking low but clear when I parked up at half eight ,.fished a Parachute Iron Blue the whole three hours I was there this morning . Some great takes too ,.conversion rate was down this morning and trout initially winning with two on the bounce missed and lifting into nothing . . . . Oh well that's fishing hey !! Eventually contacted with a nice brownie from the first long glide !! Nice twelve inch fish too . Next two fish were ditto in size, both about ten inches ,.subtle rises too ! But the usual good scrap for Arrow fish . . . Last one was along that section before the huge log jam , nice splashy take and a surprisingly decent fish from such low water !!!

Four was my lot to the net this morning,.a lovely relaxing slow session upstream, I generally only do half this beat at a time and today also cut through into the open field after that lovely run of riffles .

I did have a mooch under stones too , rammed with caddis ,.under most of the bigger flat stones . Also plenty of bullheads which is a good sign and also two small crayfish!! Feisty little blighters !! The one was ready for a scrap!! Both slipped back in !! Plenty of invertebrates too , which no doubt keep the bullheads tubby !!!

A fun three hours , very very tricky at the mo with the water so low !! OK if you don't mind stalking risers at a snails pace with tiny dries !!! Heading out to the Elan Valley Monday . . . . Catch some big air and hopefully some brownies!!! Happy days . . . . .

A dull and overcast day with not much activity on the water. Caught 1 grayling about 12 inches and a WBT of about 10 inches both on an Elk Hair Caddis.

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

2 Brown Trout at approx 12 inches, and 1 smaller Trout at approx 8 inches. All 3 took a sort of tadpole type wet fly. Great day, this was my first ever time fly fishing after 1 lesson, very happy I picked this Llyn! Good solo fishing day in the drizzle! Traveled from Wirral.

Fished an evening session. Started off to a flyer. First cast a barbel about 4 pounds. Lose 2 feeders next two casts, then break my baiting needle.
So sided hooked some elipse pellets and caught another small barbel and chub. Cant get the bait to stay on.
So i decide I'll have ago a free lining meat down the inside of the crease. First go miss a bite, then get a chub about 3.5lbs. Lose a good fish. Then get my bottom broke about 5 times on some very sharp snags. But end up with another 4 chub to around 4lbs. Miss a couple more bites and home time. Wow, not even 3 hours of fishing
