Bank Fishing - Coarse until 7:30pm

Coarse fishing can at times be prolific and leans more towards natural Irish venue style fishing rather than a welsh venue! Large shoals of Roach/Bream hybrids and Bream attract anglers from all over the UK seeking this style of fishing. There are also Roach and Perch present. Natural venues are on the up within coarse fishing and at Llandegfedd we have seen a significant rise in the discipline.

Methods commonly used to target the large shoals are feeder fishing and long range slider float. Llandegfedd is relatively untapped for coarse fishing and has already shown its potential where with the right condition bags of over 300lb of Bream and 50lb + bags of hybrids can be had. It’s a large venue and it’s advisable as in any coarse fishing venue to follow the wind direction as in coloured waters fish can come in very close looking for food. Barrow/trolley for gear is highly recommended as often long walks maybe the order of the day to fish the best spots.

In addition to the coarse fish, the lake is stocked with rainbow trout and a small head of wild brown trout are also present. Llandegfedd is also well known for its large pike.

Please note children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. A child can fish for free alongside a paying adult, Please select the child add on when booking.
