5 Rainbow trout all on ledgered worm.

Rainbow trout - 5 fish, 2 taken and 3 returned. Olive goldhead accounted for most. Largest 2.5llb.

Blank day I'm afraid.

Fished from 9.30 on both banks in light breeze with misty conditions with little visibility, but very mild conditions. No luck with fly rod and another fisherman on fly was banking also. Fish were caught on small mepps comet spinner. Caught bag limit of six rainbows ranging from 3lb to 1.5 lbs. All fish in very good condition.
Bankside foot traffic marks indicated that the venue had been busy over the weekend, as also regretably did the amount of litter which had very recently been left on the banks. A more responsible attitude is required.

Fished the NE bank. Good rise from 9.15 until 10.45 with overcast skies and a little drizzle but cleared all morning to give a bright, warm day. Very little or no breeze until aroun lunch time. Two 1.5 lb rainbows in the morning tken on a Montana, then a further two after lunch on meps comet spinner. A good days sport in a superb location.

Fished N bank from morning to mid afternoon with brisk NW breeze and cool air temp. Blank for both rods. Moved across to S bank for half an hour mid afternoon. One 1.5 lb rainbow - kept. A disappointing day in a brilliant location.

The early morning rain gave way to too much wind so fly fishing was out. We had better success spinning.

My son and I caught two brown trout, one was returned as it was just over the maximum size, my son's first fish was taken, 1.3lb. Both were taken on tobys. We hooked but failed to play four others.


Very dissapointed that the walkways to the banks for fly fishing are not kept in good order and expensive water should keep such routes clear.

As it was our first trip to the reservoir, by mistake we walked around the entire shoreline, won't do that again!

4 Rainbow Trout on worm

A wonderful day in a glorious setting despite the regular heavy showers. The aim of the day was to take an assortment of 5-8 year olds fishing. Final total was 13 trout from 1.5-2.5lbs, mix of rainbows and surprisingly blue's, 5 on fly and 8 on spinner and 5 very happy kids. Every child caught a fish and there are now three more passionate fishermen in Wales.

What a great set up, booked on line late on Friday and it is a joy to find a high quality any method fishery which was just so ideal for getting the kids into fishing.
