Bigger chub up to 2lb being caught in the House Pool. Very few Barbel being caught at present. Pictured above is a total. novice angler from Llandysul on his second fishing trip pictured with his pb Carp - a 5lb common from the house pool.

Trout Fishing: 10th May, in recent days Trout Fishing with a suspended buzzer on a floating line has been excellent with most fish around 2-3ft deep. Tactics and flies remain the same.

Coarse Fishing: 5th May, with the warmer finally arriving the Carp are beginning to shoal up and showing signs of getting ready for spawning. Consequently, as expected, Carp fishing has slowed while they play "boys 'n girls". Provided the weather stays warm we're expecting Carp fishing to return to normal before month-end. But, plenty of Carp are still being caught, and fishing for our other fish species is as prolific as ever.

Trout Fishing: 5th May, Trout fishing continues to be good with most fish around 3ft deep. Tactics and flies remain the same. Fishing with a buzzer suspended from a pimp at about 2ft deep is proving very effective.

Using loose fed dog biscuits as an attractant and one bait banded with a small bubble float, Carp fishing has been excellent. Other baits fishing well are bread, frozen or fresh mussels (not those in jars in preservative), sweetcorn and as expected quality maggots. Mr Andrew Neish of Kidwelly landed a common Carp of 17lb 9oz. Chub to 3/4lb caught from the House pool. No barbel reported as yet. Plenty of good Roach from all pools.

Trout Fishing: 17th April, Many Catch and Release anglers fishing with floating lines and 4lb-6lb long leaders with Damsels, Diawl Bach, Apps Blood worm, Cat's Whisker or similar have reported excellent sport catching about 10 fish a session each.

Nine Oaks Angling center lies on the edge of the hamlet of Oakford ("Derwen Gam" in Welsh) which is roughly 2 miles inland from the Cardigan Bay coast in Ceredigion, West Wales, and 20 miles south of Aberystwyth. Ceredigion is one of the least populated counties in Wales, providing 60 miles of spectacular coastline with untouched beaches and miles of uncongested coastal footpaths. The counties main towns are Aberystwyth, Cardigan, Lampeter, and Aberaeron.

Our location is perfect for touring Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. We have holiday cottages and static caravans and 3 Trout Pools and 3 Coarse Lakes. We provide excellent Trout and top-class general Coarse Fishing. The Trout Lakes contain mainly Rainbow and Blue Trout from 2lb plus small Brownies. The Coarse Lakes hold all varieties of Carp including Commons, Mirrors, Koi and Grass Carp up to 20lb+, Roach, Bream and skimmer Bream, Tench and small chub and small Barbel.

Our holiday accommodation is spotlessly clean, fresh and consists of self catering holiday cottages; Welsh Tourist Board graded at 4star standard, and quality Static Caravans. All are very close to the lakes and all are suitable for couples, for family holidays (with or without fishing) or specifically Fishing Holidays. The cottages are disabled friendly. About 4 miles away, in a south-westerly direction, is the lovely old fishing village of New Quay (Wales) with its crystal clear waters and beautiful sweeping, sandy bays. Also 4 miles away, northerly, is the busy coastal town of Aberaeron. With its myriad of colourful Victorian houses and shops. Cardigan is 20 miles south and Carmarthen roughly 30 miles away easterly inland.
