Hi Guys n Gals,

We are attending a convention at the Celtic Manor on the 13th and 14th of May, myself and a collegue do'nt do Golf, but Ive had a look and this fishery is not far away, but would like to ask how it is fishing and are there anymore that might be closer or near by.

Many thanks in anticipation.

Billy

Ynysfro a lot closer and good fishing for a tenner,fish all day until you kill your second fish then you must stop.

Taff

Thanks Taff,

but not looking to kill, only C&R as were at a convention and would not have the facility to clean or cook fish.

Stopped killing fish over 6 years ago as thats the only way i could get my daughter into fly fishing.

do they not do a C&R ticket?

Billy

You didnt read what i said,i said you can fish all day for a tenner you must only stop fishing once you have killed two fish,i didnt say you must kill two fish IE you can put them all back.Barbles hooks only.

what about Cefn-Mably lakes ? are they any good, i am in Cardiff from 9th may til 13th, and was advised to fish there, price is supposed to be £10 all day, and £4 per fish you kill.Not sure if this is correct though

Went to ynysfro yesterday for a morning session with mate we caught and landed plenty of fish,had 3 on 3 casts about 11 oclock also guys on golf side bank catching well on ptn.Our fish caught on yellow dancers and damsels.Plenty of surface movement all morning you wont believe the head of fish in there.Stocking is once a fortnight i was told by another member i was chatting to,a good morning again at a class fishery.

Taff, Many thanks for the info....can't wait to get there and have a cast..as it stands it looks like weve got two days...well one afternoon and a full day on the sat.. Cheers

Went to Cwm Hedd for the two sessions and have to say, what nice people the owner and his assistant were, really helpfull and gave my mate lots of good advice as he is still learning.

He had 3 fish on the first afternoon and lost another, so that was him well chuffed, so much that it made his mind up not to try anywhere else and have another go on the Saturday.
Met Dave (learner) on here and it was nice to actually meet someone face to face and another angler gave my mate a box of flies to help him get going.

Brilliant time was had and again, just a huge heads up to everyone we met and spoke to.

regards

Billy
