I focussed on the top half of the beat again today. Some nice trout around 10 inches from fast water on a soft hackle dry using my 7'6" 3 weight. Lots of fish rising on the flats and two fish took a size 18 F fly, (they were super-selective). In the evening the Grayling came on in the top pool and I managed five good fish on the soft hackle dry again around 14 inches. I couldn't do anything on the nymph, either on the duo or a French leader. It was warm and bright and whatever the method that works on the day it is a pleasure to be out in such wonderful surroundings.

4 Trout, 5 Grayling

Another great day at Llyn Buguilyn, sunny and almost windless not ideal but lots of activity on top. All taken on small black dries. Left bank in first session then right bank upto the christmas tree. Most fish in morning , most of afternoon lake was like a millpond.

Fished at wyecliffe, Hay . Bought tickets direct from owner who was very helpful and gave us a map showing best barbel swims. I had a 7lb03oz and a 6lb 02oz whilst setting up my sons rod. He then caught his first barbel of 8lb03oz. We packed up and went home happy after just 4 hours fishing

3 Barbel

The river is still low obviously, and very little movement seen for most of the bright evening. A small hatch brought some fish to the surface later in the evening by which point it was time to go home. 1 small brownine caught on a black klinkhammer. A very nice spot to spend time, looking forward fishing it under better conditions in the future.
