Wales Trout Master catch reports for week ending 8.4.11

Here's a round-up of recent trout catches made at Trout Master waters in Wales...

Cwm Hedd, Newport

Mike Dummer took one fish and released eight on a Black Daddy. Rob Jones took one and also released eight, his successful flies being Buzzers. Richard Groves, one taken and seven released on Diawl Bachs. Roy Davies caught three fish for a bag weight of 9lb 4oz, all taken on a black and green Montana.

Llandegla, Wrexham

Great sport has been had through March with climbing temperatures and fish taking dries, Buzzers and lures. Notable catches saw Sion Williams (Ruthin) landing an 11lb 10oz brown from the middle pool on a Green Montana. Junior angler, Thomas Mayers (Denbigh), stalked a rainbow over two fishing sessions and finally tempted the 11lb 6oz fish with a Black and Green Fritz. Patrick Blake (Warrington) hooked an 8lb brown with his last cast of a six hour session after previously landing 10 fish, totalling 40lb from both lakes.
Diawl Bach, Buzzers, PTN and Bibio are giving great sport. Klinkhamer, CdC and White Moth on the dry. Lures such as Montana, Tadpole and Fritz will always produce. Last week of March saw a rod average of 6.4 with several anglers having double-figure bags of blues and rainbows.

Llyn Brenig, Cerrigydrudion

Biggest bag this week goes to Mr Williams, of Llanrwst, with six rainbows at 12lb 2oz. The biggest fish of the week was a 6lb 4oz Booby taken by an unknown angler from Nantwich. Norman Davies caught a beautiful overwintered brown trout at 2lb right up in the north arm from a boat.
Water temperature has risen to 7C which has encouraged surface sport. Rod average now stands at 4.37 fish per angler.
Bank hotspots included Tower Bay and the Nantglyn Bank, while boat spots included the shale beach to the right of the arm entrance, as well as the shaded patch of water to the left of the arm entrance. Tower bay is also popular, as well as sailing club and Watersports bays.
Top flies include Boobies, Montana, some Buzzers, Vivas, Damsel and Cat’s Whiskers. Anglers using Di-7s found switching to floating or light intermediates working a treat.

Llyngwyn and Elan Valley Reservoirs, Rhayader

During March, the fishing at Llyngwyn was excellent. 140 anglers caught a total of 532 fish during the month. Once again, the favourite flies were Damsels, Buzzers, Cat’s Whiskers and Montanas on intermediate lines.
Pat Sharman, of Talgarth, had six fish for 16lb on a Damsel; Mr P. Coppers, from Llandinum, had six fish for 14lb on a Montana and David Hyams, of Shobdon, had six fish for 13lb on a Cat’s Whisker. The heaviest fish of the month was a 7lb rainbow caught by Ray Brooks on a nymph fly. Mr G. Gray, of Symonds Yat, had a 4lb 8oz rainbow on a Buzzer and Cliff Lloyd, of Rhayader, had a 3lb 12oz rainbow on a Damsel.
March has also seen the start of the new fishing season for the Elan Valley Reservoirs. The lakes are now open for brown trout fishing and permits are available at Powell's Newsagents in Rhayader and at the Elan Valley Visitor Centre.

** LLYNGWYN LAKE OPEN ALL YEAR. WINTER SEASON TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE **

 

Hi there again.

Apologies for the delay in sending out this next set of fly fishing tips, I have just returned from one of the best sessions of my life.
I caught a personal best 9lb wild brown trout from Lake Windermere in The English Lake Distict. For anyone wishing for a fantastic
 fishing destination I would suggest they book a flight to the UK and visit the Lake District where the scenery is spectacular and the
fishing equally so!
The next guidance I am going to provide is on the set up, that is the rod, reel, fly line and tippet; to present the flie in the most natural
way.
The type of rod you should buy will depend on:
i) the type of fish you are fishing;
ii) the water on which you are fishing, and;
iii) personal preference.
As a starting point it is first necessary to understand that there are 3 main actions of a fly rod, these being fast action, medium action
and slow action. These are also known as tip flex fly rods (fast action), mid flex fly rods (medium action) and full flex fly rods
(slow action). Which one of these rods you should use is critical on the success of your fishing.  In order to decide you must first
understand what is meant by fast, medium and slow action rods.  Fast action rods are stiff and more powerful rods with the tip
being the only part that flexes. As a result, the fast action rod is capable of casting line further, landing larger fish, casting in windy
weather and allows for quicker casting. The disadvantages of a fast action rod are that they are difficult for a beginner to use as the
rod will need a steeper learning curve as the speed of the line will be such that a beginner may become frustrated.  I will cover
medium, and slow rods on my next emails.
Tight Lines! Mark.

Loss of  Angler
SOUTH Wales has lost a top game angler following the death of John Mason, from Whitchurch. Fishing for trout on Cardiff’s
 Llanishen and Lisvane Reservoirs was where he was most at home, and during the 1950s he was a founder member of Cardiff
 Reservoirs Fly Fishing Club. The club is still active today, despite members having to seek their sport outside the city.

Seven Oaks Fishery 01446 775474

while Gareth Thomas put back seven fish to 4lb.
