One browner and 2 rainbows caught on worm. Bit disappointing as the other fisherman next to us caught about 10-12. He was using powerbait salmon eggs though ????. Not much action on the worm in comparison

With 'Cabin Fever' setting in & not having cast a fly yet this year, I rashly decided that still water was better than nothing; Why I chose Llwyn Onn I shall never know.
I am struggling to find any positives. The sun shone for an hour earlier on & the man who checks the tickets was very pleasant but maybe not a fisherman & in a bit of a hurry?
As I drove up through Merthyr Tydfil I was already getting nervous that this was going to be a massive picnic area around a body of water. I had to give it a go but did not expect to spend quite so much time picking up discarded line, tackle & rubbish. Carling Black Label is still a favourite amongst the visitors to Llwyn Onn along with the usual KFC & McDonalds containers. Wading into the water at least had the advantage of having my back to all this & I was able to listen to the gentle hum of the motorbikes as they accelerated along a particularly good straight along the shoreline.
After catching one recently stocked rainbow trout, i thought I would move around the bank to see if it was a little more reminiscent of a wild place. Much the same really , new litter & line on the bank, the road was a little closer but with the added bonus that the rain had properly set in now...not that we mind that. As I unhooked my second, slightly deformed (brachycephalic) stocked rainbow of the split fin variety, I decided to call it a day & drive back the scenic route thus avoiding the massive reconstruction of the Welsh countryside between Merthyr & Abergavenny.
It is what it is & a far cry from river fishing that WUF so kindly give us easy access to. I wish I didn't have to count these fish as my first of 2018. You never finish learning.

Disappointing day and rained for most of the afternoon. I and my guest both drew a blank. Judging by bits of angling material left on the bank side the reservoir fishing with bait is very popular. The Usk reservoir is a much quieter and more scenic place to spend an afternoon in the rain flogging the water with a fly!

I made 2 separate bookings for the same day. So, this report same as the first.No fish caught.
