3 Barbel, 30 Chub

Ffynnon lloer is the highest fishable lake in Wales (look out for upcoming content on the Fishing In Wales blog!) it was a tough climb, over an hour and very steep. Another breath-taking place with incredible views. The lake was calm, making it very hard going - in parts it is very shallow and gin clear. A few fish were rising, but beyond range. Looked like good fish. One was caught of 3/4lb not long after we started. After climb down we tried llyn idwal on other side of valley. Walk much easier about 20 minutes. Some stunning trout here, from 10 to 13 inches, a good few about 12 inch. Tourists everywhere here, so worth taking a float tube.

Caradoc is the Marmite beat....you either love it or hate it!! A drone hovered overhead for a while and a hanglider passed up above too....plenty of action in the river with a group of Hounds appearing and enjoying themselves in the low river and then scampered up the overgrown bank on the far side when summoned....We were joined by a friendly herd of Cattle and horses who stopped for a graze and a drink...they fortunately were not too interested in us.Fishing was good but 8 of the Barbel were pocket rockets under a pound...only place we have seen more Barblets is Wyebank....Was also pleasing to catch a few Dace and plenty of 4 to 12oz Chub which made for a really enjoyable day...A sudden downpour cut our day short but any splash of rain at the moment is very welcome.
