LLYN BRENIG FISHING REPORT WEEK ENDING APRIL 30TH

It has been a dry and sunny week at Brenig with a cool northerly wind
blowing for most of the week and the water temperature remains at seven
degrees celsius . Despite this cold weather, fish are being taken on or
near the surface on dries and nymphs.
Hotspots for the week have been Hafod Lom woods, Tower Bay, Nantglyn
bank and Brenig Arm. Popular fly patterns have been orange lures,
boobies, diawl bach, coch-y-Bonddu, Cats whisker, olives, pheasant tail
nymphs and various hoppers. Two hundred and thirty anglers fished the
water this week and catch returns showed a healthy average of five fish
per rod and an average weight of just over two pound per fish with a few
fish of four and five pounds coming out.
The best fish of the week however wasn't a trout but an 18lb pike!! The
fish was caught by Alan Cawthray from Denbigh on a floating line, 8lb
leader and a size 12 Black and Peacock spider!! The fish was returned
alive. Bookings are now being taken for our Pike week which is taking
place Oct 30th - Nov 3rd.
On Sunday the first trout league was held . This is a monthly boat
fishing competition with nine teams competing in a league format. Top of
the pile after Sunday were the Brenig Badgers who weighed in 24 fish for
29.050kilos with G4 in second place with 24 fish for 26.8kilos.

Nah.... not me matey.... I think Alec is more the "Pike man" here. I'll
stick to 'float fishing' for the tiddlers, so long as it's not clear blue
sky and blistering heat like last year! Jeez it wuz hot. Do you remember
those guy's practising for the nationals with the fish finder SONAR
thingies? They found fish echoes 60 feet down!!

BTW Dave, are you planning to do any river fishing for Sewin or Salmon this
year?

ohhh, yes, I remember. This year, I shall be bringing my r/c model
submarine, now outfitted with vid camera and micro harpoons, it's about
the only way I'll get anything, unless I really cheat and use a fast sinking
line like the rest of you.

I doubt if I will take out the full season licence (I usually upgrade my
trout licence mid-summer) this year....but, when we do get a nice flood,
and the salmon are running, I might get the odd day ticket. What are
your plans? You coming up?


BTW - all - what *did* we decide to do about a Cwellyn campsite meet-up
this year??

cheez

You may as well.... the only chance you'll get to play with a booby ;o)

Um..... I don't know yet..... holidays not sorted yet so I may see what I
can get a way with ;o)

Reason I asked; you'll recall my mate Alan who came with me last year for
Brenig weekend? Well..... he has given me a box of some 30 Salmon & Seatrout
flies for me to pass on to you! All tied by himself on low water hooks on
sizes 6,8 &10 plus some doubles and a few trebles. He's a really good fly
tier as well.

He doesn't get the chance to go for Salmon or Seatrout, but gawd knows why
he's giving 'em to you! He's supposed to be my bloody friend! I think the
phrase to be used is "Warra barrrstard!" ;o)

So.... would you like me to post them or bring them along Brenig weekend?


BTW - all - what *did* we decide to do about a Cwellyn campsite meet-up

erm..... nuffin as far as recall but I won't be able to make it to Cwellyn
this year.
