It's game on at Tynycornel!
Today saw the start of the game fishing season and there was an early success at Talyllyn and the Tynycornel Hotel.
The photo below shows Steve Watts of Llandeilo being presented with a bottle of Penderyn whisky by Phil Wood, Gillie and Fishery Manager, for the first fish of the season at Talyllyn.
Phil’s fishing report is as follows -
After a mild spell during March there was a massive hatch of black buzzers and in turn this produced a huge rise of over wintered fish.
There were dorsals and tail rises to be seen everywhere and this was before the first stocking had gone in!
Anglers visiting Talyllyn should try the Rectory Bay, Pentre, down to the Cae Drift and Home Drift to Agony Point from the boats and from the bank the hot spots should be Pentre all the way to Cae.
You can also try Agony point down to the Nursery Drift.
On the warmer days, a floating line with wets such as Kate McLaren, Black Pennel, Williams Favourite, Bibio etc will work.
Alternativley, on windier days try a slow sinker with a Montana Nymph/Olive Damsel on the point then a Clan Chief in the middle and a Dabbler or Sooty Olive type fly on the top dropper.
We had a good run of salmon late last season and there will be a few kelts in the lake; anglers are reminded that these must be returned.
Opening day was on the April 1, with most of the fleet of boats out.
This year, there was a bottle of Penderyn whiskey for the captor of the first fish of the season.
This went to Steve Watts of Llandeilo, who took a superb conditioned wild fish of 1lb 8oz on a Black Pennel.
May should produce some good hatches of olives and flies.
May is a busy month at Talyllyn and booking is advisable. For more details please contact 01654782282 or email reception@tynycornel.co.uk
Tight lines!
