Llyngwyn Fly Fishing Beginners Session
Subject to weather conditions the club will be holding another beginners session at 10am on Sunday 1st December at Llyngwyn. The session is free and will last approximately 2-3 hours. We would suggest that the minimum practical age of participants is around 8 years old as some of the younger children find it quite difficult. If you would like to attend, please message us or respond to this post. Could everyone attending please ensure they have suitable warm clothing, wellies a hat and sunglasses to protect eyes.

​Congratulations to the Sharman brothers, representing our two Mid Wales fisheries in the Troutmasters Final at Draycote. Paul Sharman, representing Llyngwyn fishery, was placed 19th, whilst his brother Pat Sharman, representing the Elan Valley fishery, was placed 36th. Well done both.

​Thanks to everyone who attended our beginners session this morning. Great to see a few fish being caught and some new faces. We will keep you posted with details of future dates.

​Llyn Gwyn Fishing Report.
What a great month at Llyngwyn. 150 anglers were recorded netting 400 fish. No large fish were recorded but many in the 3lb region were caught. It was nice to see that many fish were returned to the water. John Henderson of Rhayader netted 9 fish for 20lbs but all were returned.
Once again the favorite flies proved best. The Damsel, Montanas, Buzzers, Hoppers and Daddy's on dry lines.
Llyngwyn continues to be stocked every two weeks and winter season tickets are now available from 18th October lasting until 19th March. You can purchase these from Powell's Newsagents or Hafod Hardware in Rhayader. Some say the lake fishes better in the winter than the summer.
River permits are also available for Grayling.
