With the heavy rain writing off a trip up the Teifi, Steve Jones and I headed to Garnffrwd after work for a catch & release ticket. With the rain easing, our hopes were raised by seeing the wind drop and a few fish rising.
It started off slow, and after spotting a few caddis scuttling across the lake, I changed over to an imitation that would create a wake. It immediately worked with practically a follow or swirl at the fly, every cast. Eventually one stuck, and a rainbow of around 2lb was photographed and released.
The wind dropped and the lake went dead calm and devoid of fish! That was until around 9pm, when the fish finally came on the feed in huge numbers, but again were very selective. I managed one on a diawlbach, and that was that. Another frustrating night!
More rain today and an attroicious forecast for the forseable future - not looking good!
