Feedback & Reports

My first time fishing this beat so I’m unsure of the usual level but the water was gin clear and trout were showing on the surface most of the morning. They were spooking very quickly so a long leader is what I would recommend and is what worked for me. By 11:00 it had become too hot and all action had died off. I look forward to fishing this scenic beat again

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.
