Recent catches:-

Coarse Fishing: 3rd May; Following the sudden change in weather (yesterday was beautiful) fishing has slowed slightly with mainly Roach, Bream and some Tench coming out, mainly on sweetcorn. Although other baits do work they are not as productive as sweetcorn, fish them a little over depth for some cracking Roach, plenty around 1/2lb and a few 1lb+ being caught. The Carp have slowed which is usually an indication that they are becoming otherwise engaged and shoaling up - we think of them as in their teenage years where they are beginning to play "boys and girls"! You know the scene "I loves you" rub, rub...

Trout Fishing: New stock expected later today, as usual in the 2-3lb range.

25th April; Following some awful weather with squally showers and strong breezes, Mr Moseley of Ruthin, N.Wales fishing in the Main Lake for his first time here, using pellet and sweetcorn, with corn as freebies had Roach to 1lb in a mixed bag of Roach and Carp for an estimated 80lb Total.

19th April; Mr Trevor Thomas of Ton Kenfig, S.Wales (photograph left) with a large Common, weighed by him with his new scales at 22lb, and caught on floating bread from the Main Lake in peg #1. Weather has been awful with wind and rain for the past few days.

14th April; A few of our small Barbel have now been caught on sweetcorn in the Main Lake, also a couple of the new stocking of Tench but noreports of the Chubb. Although we believe that they may be mistaken for small Roach. Coarse fishing continues to be excellent with many good fish (doubles ) being landed. As you would expect the mid-day lull (12-2pm) still remains quiet with mainly small Roach being caught. After 4pm when it seems that the "dinner bell" has been rung the Carp especially are very active. Some excellent 1/2lb+ Roach are being caught from the House and Main lakes and many Bream, with the bigger fish coming from House Pool. Only a couple of Grass Carp have so far been caught, floating baits have been the best. No Eels so far and none of the larger Carp.

One sad aspect has been the landing and discard of a large swan mussel. As they are uncommon in this part of Wales, we have deliberately stocked these expensive molluscs specially. They form an integral part of our environment policy. We ask that any angler accidentally hooking in to one to put it back in the lake and not, as one idiot has done, thrown in down the bank behind them to die! From thgeir original palm sized size they have been growing at about 1" beigger each year.

Trout Fishing: Continues to produce great sport and nearly all anglers catching their bag limit. Two fish bags are weighing around 5lb, so good hard fighting fish are to be had mainly on wet flies; such as buzzers, bibbio, Hare's ear, Fritz's and Cat's whisker near to the banks just off the reed beds and about 3ft down.

9th April; Coarse Fishing has been excellent with many quality Roach coming out well over 1/2lb each with quite few around 3/4lb. The really big ones have not yet been netted. Best baits have been Luncheon Meat, Sweetcorn Worms and Maggots. Floating Bread and Baker's Beef Dog Biscuits have produced many surface fished Carp. The best so far has been an 18 1/4lb Common to young Morgan from Merthyl Tydfyl on Floating Crust. Many good Carp have been caught using Fly Fishing tactics with Chum Mixer biscuits and imitation dog biscuit flies. Decent Bream are being regularly caught from the Main Lake on Maggots, few Tench being landed although the best to-date has been one of 3lb from the House Pool by a local angler. Our first small Barbel has been caught on sweetcorn , and the occasional medium sized Chub, although we think many are being caught and mistakenly identified as Roach! Good Bream 3lb and over have been caught in the much deeper House Pool with the occasional Carp. Mr Mike Keeling has had our first Grassie this year on floating Bread from the Main Lake.

Trout Fishing: Continues to produce great sport with most anglers reaching their bag limit within their allotted times. Average two fish bag weighing about 4 1/2lb. Buzzers, Bibbio, Hares Ear and Cat's Whisker flies have frequently been the best flies with most fish caught around 3ft deep. Quite a few Trout being caught when fishing along the edges of the reed beds, and many giving really good fights and lots of long, strong runs.

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 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.
