Hot and sunny throughout the day but some rising fish mostly in faster water, even in the hottest part of the day. March Brown emerger pattern and size 20 Parachute Adams accounted for all fish which were all around 10 in.

No catches today unfortunately.

As we drove past Llyn Clywedog we observed a flat calm over the whole of the reservoir. However, on arrival at Bugeilyn there was a steady breeze creating a nice ripple on the water. Despite the cloudless sky fish were rising to what we worked out to be very small brown beetles, about the quarter of the size of a Coch-Y-Bonddu. After trying to match the hatch and only getting the fish to splash at our offerings we changed to basic hares ear pattern which the fish couldn't resist. By 3pm we decided to get out of the heat and take shelter in the boat house for refreshments. Fished again from 5pm for another couple of hours. Once again saw the Hen Harriors.

An excellent day at Penpont with the help of fishing guide Kim Tribe. We began our day just beneath the bridge and after a slow start I had a nice trout on a midge dry fly. We then moved down to the pocket water in the section called "End of Fence" and did well there bringing in a couple of fish each using a Coachman pattern. We then worked our way up to the runoff from the Bridge pool and had success using a Pheasant Tail nymph. All the fish were in the 9"-11" range I would say.

The setting at Penpont is absolutely gorgeous and the beat is quite long and fairly easy to access for most of its length.

A big shout out to the guide, Kim Tribe, who is very knowledgeable and helpful. I am still a bit of a beginner - especially when it comes to consistent casting but Kim is able to blend instruction with fishing and keeps you active the whole day long. I will definitely fish with Kim again.
