I entered a catch return the same day - don't know why it hasn't registered. One good pull in the Vanstone - where a few salmon were showing and a Chub from the bottom of Maddox on a Willie Gun.

What a beautiful day.........for sun worshippers!!! After a stroll along the first part of the beat, and seeing the level so low (only 3" on the guage),it was decided the salmon rods would stay in their tubes, and the weapon for the day would be the trout rods. The only 3 fish for the day came in the first hour, one being a grayling of about 1 1/2lb, then the sun got up, and an upstream wind picked up, and we couldn't buy another take. The successful fly was a gold shrimp #12. Still a cracking beat though!

Bright ,sunny day. Good hatch of brook olives, water low and very clear. 3 trout all around 6" on dry fly. Fished 11am--5pm.

Beautiful day but difficult fishing - river quite low, lots of fly life but not many fish rising. Took one beautiful trout on a small GRHE and in almost the same spot a 5lb chub that smashed a nymph on the surface just as it landed. Not what I was expecting.

Fine day; easterly breeze eddying around the hill behind, veering alternately up and down the lake; very few rises. Fished 2 1/2 hour sessions: floating line; Hopper, Heul y Gwynt, GRHE on point. Most took HyG; 1 took Hopper on the top; 1 foul hooked on GRHE on point. First time on Llyn Bugeilin. Beautiful, memorable day!

A beautiful sunny day with a very cold wind. River was low,running clear. We both lost small fish at the lower end of the beat early in the morning on tiny klinkhammer emergers then it went quiet, nothing rising and no fish to be seen. Switched to various nymphs without success. There was a hatch in the afternoon but still nothing rising. A disappointing day fish wise, but a good day out. My first blank of the season so I cant complain!

Arrived 6.15pm fished until 8 15 pm, lovely evening, water higher than expected. Nice colour, but fished only below wire section. One 6" trout dry fly, nothing seen rising. Great place very easy access

No fish caught. Very sunny but a very cold easterly wind.

No fish caught or hooked though fish were rising to various flies.
Bright sunny day but water very low. I was disappointed not to hook a fish after a marvelous previous day with excellent guiding of Chris Price on same beat when he caught a lovely brown trout of at least 3 lbs and I had hooked one of about 1 lb.

Arrived about 7.30 to overcast skies and no wind. Decided to go with the #8 Switch rod, full floating with a small #10 Black and Yellow on the end. There wasn’t enough water to work the fly until halfway down the beat at the ‘Tail of the Tail’; the Tail Pool itself was virtually static. From here on it was as easy a place to fish as you can imagine, ideal for beginners, with some interesting features. No sign of Salmon but there are a lot of Trout throughout and of quite a size too. Sun came through at 11.00 and everything went flat so decided to call it a day.
Note to self: try again another day when river is up at least a foot, so 0.6mtr on the gauge at Llanfoist http://www.gaugemap.co.uk/#!Detail/821 and put the lighter Trout gear in the car knucklehead!
