Llangorse Today

[Martin Hurst]

Finally met up with Nifty at 8am this morning to Fish Llangorse lake in Mid Wales.

photos arent great but they give an indication of the beauty of this venue situated in the Brecon Beacons National park.

Nifty didnt take long to hit into a Pike of around 5LB on a mepps type spinner. However his new fishfinder continued to play up and at one stage trips to the bank to rectify the problem , and take care of the call of nature saw fishing play second fiddle!!

 

Another 6 hours without a bite passed , irrelevant as we paddled and chatted with Nifty recalling tales of monster tope and lost anchors!! I finally broke my duck with a small jack , which went back as nifty paddled across for the photo ( I was traumatised as a lad by my Grandmothers teeth and these critters have teeth!!).

 

All in all a nice day out .

Cheers Martin, Thanks for making the trip over and providing a bit of good company on another glorious day out

 

I hope I didn't bore the tits off you with the Tope tales, do you think thats why everyone runs off when they see me coming or do I just need to change my de-odorant? Just wait till June and you'll know why they have become a bit of an obsession of mine. You'll have to overcome your fear of toothy critters though

 

I'm afraid the piccies I took aren;t much better, I think we need a professional photographer with us, do you know any?

 

 

 

I've started work on plan C for the fishfinder and the 3lb lump hammer is part of it

Nice report and well done for catching. The scenery looks nice I'd like to fish there someday.

 

Is access easy? (turn up and launch with no questions asked?).

[nifty]

Hi Speciman,

 

The launch site couldn't be easier with the car park 20yds from the water, just put your tenner in the envelope provided at the on site shop, and away you go. Look forward to seeing you up there

 

Stuart.

[SpeciMan]

A tenner to kayak fish a fresh water venue sounds reasonable.

 

Which fish would you expect to target there during the warmer months?

[Martin Hurst]

It gets taken over by the waterski brigade in Summer , so you'd need to fish early or late. Guess April /May would be prime time for fishing with Pike ( to about 30lb) and Perch (one day Nifty!) the main target species. Nice campsite adjacent too.

[nifty]

There are supposed to be some big bream shoals as well, and I will get a Perch from there one day!

[Martin Hurst]

forgot to mention Stu , you were quite right about those Fish and chips !!! And i've just released your worms

Will return the bait box next time our pathscross

No worries Martin. Glad you enjoyed your chips.

Great report, I will get there one day, sadly grounded at the mo by doctors and MOT vailure, two little indicator bulbs on the dash that's all it was and now I have a weekend of pain.....£$%%£%

 

Roll on next weekend
