Day of spinning pins trotting for barbel and chub. Walked the length of the fishery 3-4 times trying all spots as fish spread about. Nice to see a couple of very fresh looking 3lb barbel. Great day out but could have left at 2pm as neither of us could get a bite after this, even when cheating and fishing a feeder. Was rather blustery and sun appeared a little though in the afternoon.

3 Barbel, 7 Chub

An unseasonably wet. cold, and very windy day - with gusts up to 37mph - made for very tough angling. A topping fish at the centre of the lake helped provide a target, and a long cast with a PVA bag of pellet and pop-up (to help fish over weed) brought a cracking chub. It's my second time on the Llyn - and the weather has been rough both times - but it is the most stunning location and, in the breaks between gusts/showers there are always opportunities! I hope to be back on a finer day to winkle one out the edge on traditional tactics.

Incredible piece of water and the fishing was outstanding. Will be back to this beat at some point. All of us on the beat pulled out double numbers in a morning session until around Lunch time. Early morning on the dry and later on were all on nymph.

All jobs nailed early bells, so decided on a wild stream ..... With the weather looking a tad windy and rainy the next few days, thought a slow mooch on a Sunday up a favourite beat would be just the ticket !!! Clywedog Brook it was then......... Save the larger wild waters of the Elan Valley/ Nant-y-moch for Monday and Tuesday with clients !!!
Strewth she's low, not sure as I saw different wader sole prints in the mud in various places, we shall see on Monday, when the last few days catch returns are submitted and on display !!! Very slow going on the bottom half, wether Tarka had been on the go, I'm not sure, but wowser, tricky stuff!!!! Low and very clear too ...... A few days rain muchly needed .....
It perked up half way up the beat, when I started at eleven, plenty of insects on the go, but I guess in fairness trout will be wising up a bit on this beat now !!! I did fancy a mooch up the Cammarch, another of my favourites, but that's still of limits .... Crayfish lockdown still implemented!!! Still bemused why some are fishable and others closed ..... still ours is not to reason why as they say !!!
Good dry fly sport over five slow hours, did up past the weir, not far, managed seven beauties to the net, along with a few self released kind souls !!! Great fun as always, tight up in the fast water .... ohhhh and two surprises in the deeper pools, came out from nowhere and hammered my dry, lovely stuff... lots of squirrels munching the early hazelnuts and more and more leaves in the river now !!! Clocks ticking folks !! A fun Sunday, back home and a bottle of Westons Cider !!!! Happy days ......
