Very windy day made fishing hard. Not even so much as a tug. Nil return. However, great view of Snowdon.

I had a visit to Llyn y Dywarchen (SGLL Fishing Society). It’s a wonderful llyn location. However, I must say I was extremely disappointed by the number of disturbances. Granted this was a hot weekend with temperatures reaching 30*C. The llyn was plagued by visitors stripping off and launching themselves into the water, not to mention the paddleboarder.
The most unwelcome thing was the discovery of a poachers line, 15 metres of heavy fishing line tied around the base of a gorse plant. At first I thought it was someone’s snapped line until further exploration. The line was tight into the Llyn and as I tried to gather it in, it soon became clear that there was actually a fish attached to the end of the line. A rainbow about 1.5lb. This was a fairly primitive poachers method, the business end comprised a stopper knot, plastic bead and a rolling bullet weight. A 18” hook trace with a wormed hook.
I released the rainbow and destroyed the poachers line.

Not sure what has happened over recent years, maybe the modern influence of social media but our British countryside has been plagued by mindless idiots.

Thank you to the club for offering guest day tickets and best of luck to the club and members in tackling this systemic poaching problem across North Wales.

Beautiful place to fish but sadly I did not have long. Lots of fish rising to areas with isolated hatches but these were a bit far for my travel rod. Looking forward to returning in the warmer weather.

3 Rainbows taken on Iron Blue, Daddy longlegs and a cruncher all from the far side of the lake. All quickly returned. Its difficult to clamber around the lake, some very boggy/marshy areas - typical upland lake!

Great morning’s fishing. Fished from 8am until 12 noon. Caught 1 on a yellow dancer then switched to an orange blob and caught 2 and lost 1 with plenty of knocks and follows on the orange blob. Perfect location and 2 fish just under 2lb and my third was 2.5lb. Great sport.
