Cwmtillery Lakes

Post by JimmyBobkin »

This place is a five minute drive for me. Picturesque, local and, best of all, free. Owned by the council, it is a favourite place for dog walkers and such like.

On the downside, it gets very wearing when you are asked 'any luck?' thirty times a day.

I counted seventeen in this shoal. Too busy enjoying the sun to take a bait. A couple of hours this morning. Also spotted a Pike slowly swimming past a small carp and ignored it completely. Perhaps he was in a charitable mood. Image

What a beautiful setting, Sir. Worth tolerating a few "any luck's ?" for.

Nice looking place Jim. I don't know which is worse, Dogs or Any luck? :Thumb:

God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.
