to fish.
Llyngwyn is near the town of Rhayader and is owned by Rhayader Angling
Association, tickets are available from shops in Rhayader.
The lake is a naturally spring fed water and is one of the most peaceful places
I fish. Even when the fish aren't biting you can sit back and enjoy the antics
of the Red Kites and other bird life which is in abundance there.
We took a boat out (There are three to hire) on oars or electric motors allowed. No noise to wreck to piece and quiet) moving to the bottom of the lake we
anchored half way along, tied on a green and black nomad and a orange fritz on
the other rod. No fish were showing on the surface so we started with
intermediate lines and began.
After and hour of nips and losing fish Llinos hooked into a hard fighting fish
and played it out with my Orvis Western rod. Woohoo first fish to Llinos.
An hour later Evan was in to another hard fighting fish and with a light 4
weight Snowbee Diamond he had quite a fight on his hands. We finally net a nice
pound and a half rainbow. We could not believe it wasn't a heavier fish.
There has to be a few perks for the Gilly apart from an excellent upper body
workout rowing. So I was allowed to have a few casts and hooked into a very nice
2 pound rainbow. Which we netted up quickly.
The beauty of Llyngwyn is you do have have to fish hard to catch. This is no
stocky bashing water. They seem to quickly adapt to feeding of the prolific
insect life. This makes buzzers a must have for fishing here.
