4 x trout average size 2lb.

Really windy day - will pay more attention to the forecast in future. Fishing good for approx two hours between ten and twelve. Seven rainbows 1 to 1.5lb.

Slow day. 12 fish caught in spurts all stocked rainbow trout.

First time at this ocation. Stared fishing at 09.30 on the east bank but was put off by the constant roar of traffiic on the A470. The east bank area was crowded with static, uncommunicative worm fishers.
Moved round to the quieter west bank and the fishing was punctuated by the arrival of a helicopter collecting water from the res. in order to deal with a significant fire close to the Hirwaun / Storey Arms road, Three good quality rainbows caught and kept, ranging from 1.5 to 2.0 lbs. Weather warm, bright and clear with a fresh southerly breeze.
A pleasant days sport on the west side but will avoid the east bank on a future visit.

What an amazing setting! I drove past the two other Taff reservoirs which both seemed deserted fishing-wise - whereas there were quite a few people dotted all around Llwyn On. I parked up halfway down the west side - plenty of parking right around the lake.

I'd decided just to take spinning gear. Guess what - first cast, fish straight on! Using a little Vibrax spinner. Quickly to net and as it wasn't a massive fish and I was to be spending the rest of the day out I returned it. Maybe this was a mistake because there wasn't much more action for me that day!

I gradually made my way right around the lake and the only other interest was near the dam (east side) where I lost one at the net.

A fly angler had apparently had great results and most of the locals seemed to be using worms, some to good results - one guy ledgering pulled two out in very quick succession while I was near him. None of the fish I saw were very big - 1lb to 1.5lb probably.

Great day though.
Recommend not hanging around the car parks after dark - noticed 'strange' characters turning up as I was packing up and it seems like Llwyn On is a site for certain unsavoury outdoor pursuits (night time ones)!

Caught 9 trout using spinner but 8 back. Started off using a float and worm running of about 5ft from the float with no bites whatsoever. So as said then went on to use spinner and could not stop catching all being about 1 to 3lb in weight. One thing to note is the reservoir is very low, make sure you take some proper footwear as I only had trainers on and was slipping every where as it was raining and you cant stop sinking in to the mud were the reservoir is usually to.

1 Brown Trout ½lb, released.
