TIME TO HEAD FOR THE HILLS…..

It’s truly been a disastrous summer for a lot of venues up and down the country when it comes to fishing.Some of our lowest club lakes are also suffering with water temperatures steady at around 20 degrees and not much interest from the fish.Thankfully the Rheidol is still running at compensatory level and at 17 degrees.

Two guests staying in one of our club lake side caravans decided to diversify and have had two back to back memorable days…..
Firstly they ventured to Ynys Las and had 30 bass on the fly … yesterday they made the journey up to our highest mountain lake ‘ Llygad Rheidol “ at a hight of 500m…

“An amazing day at Llyn Llygad Rheidol today. A massive swarm of flying ants triggered a big feed with rises everywhere. We landed 28 beautiful browns between us on size 16 Parachute Adams and similar sized fly to the ants. The browns were magnificent going up to over a pound and one about 1lb 4oz. All returned safely with barbless hooks. Great day!!!”

We criticise and curse ‘ Generating Water’ most of the time but with the majority of rivers in Wales now running at a temperature in to the lower 20’s we are grateful that the Rheidol is at around 17 deg and was even in flood one evening last week.
…..Most of the water supplying the river comes out of the cooler layer of the bottom of dams .
Fishing has been reasonable with most anglers getting some reward for their hard efforts…best fish this week came to the expert rod of game keeper Dave Lloyd who has supported the club for years,travelling from a far too fish on a regular basis…well done Dave 👏👏👏

FINALLY WE HAD AN EVENING WITH NO WIND AND THE BIG BROWNS CAME OUT TO PLAY…….
Yesterday felt like the first favourable evening of the season and the fishing didn’t disappoint-plenty of sedge about and the big browns were slowly patrolling the margins….just a little breaking of the surface gave their location away but not their size.
These precious grown on fish deserve the utmost respect and should be kept in the water as much as possible and the pleasure is in seeing them swim back and on with life.
