Llyn fawr

This is the llyn fawr my local resevoir it is club run by the upper Rhondda angling association (u.r.a.a). I have been a member of this club since I was 12 or 13 I've fished this lake with Dai jones for a long time and have had some good and some bad seasons. The club has been struggling a little over the last few years but took a step backwards two yearsago when some idiot poisoned our stock of fish for the forth coming seasons. And although the club struggled members and the local community mad donations to our fish farm to replenish the stock with fry and stocks me fish.
Some of those fish where carried through into this season and where lumps. Biggest fish that was landed this year was 6.5lb which is big considering that the normal average is 2-3lb. The u.r.a.a offer a great membership fee a season costing just £110 for a season which runs from march 3rd until November 15th and they also offer a day ticket which is £10 four fish ticket which is great value for money.

The second photo is at our fish farm (dan-y-bont trout farm) this is wot our farm manager opened up to and was devasted as this is a full time unpaid hobby so you can only imagine how he must of felt the fish where taken to be burnt later that day.
