Fishing Report, Week ending 23/04/06

This past week has seen pleasant warm fishing conditions with variable 
wind conditions. The water temperature is 7ºC.

The fishing has been good with the rod average at 5 fish. The average 
fish weight is 2lb 5oz. The heaviest fish of the week went to Mr G. 
Cusato from Elsmere port who caught an 8lb 9oz rainbow. He caught it off 
the bank along Hafod Lom woods.

The Hotspots of the week have been Tower Bay, along Hafod Lom woods and 
Nantglyn bank, for boats. The bank hotspots have been Tower Bay, Hafod 
Lom woods, Nantglyn bank and between the Visitor Centre and the dam.

Fishing methods have been boobies fished on Di 3 - Di 5 lines. Dabblers 
have also been catching on slime lines, and the occasional fish has been 
caught on dries.

Along with the normal stocking of fish we are putting in around 200 
hundred big rainbows ranging from 4lb to 8lb.

With the first Foxon's Trout League match taking place on Sunday it is 
advisable to book a boat in advance to avoid disappointment.

We are starting to take bookings for the Pike week starting from the 1st

November. If you would like to book a boat please call the Brenig Office
