Pant Y Bedw Fishery is a beautiful site located in a rural but very accessible location with extremely good access from the A48/M4/A40. Pant Y Bedw Fishery lakes are nestled in a natural bowl surrounded by woodland on 3 sides. Challenger lake is currently stocked with rainbow and blue trout, minimum size 2lb. Pant Y Bedw Fishery is located approximately 5 miles east of Carmarthen and 2 miles from the A48 just past the National Botanic Gardens of Wales.
PANT Y BEDW fishery has been stocked with some very lively, cracking Exmoor rainbows today (Thursday).
The water is crystal clear after the recent rains and the fishing has improved with the cooler weather.
Although the fishing is quiet at the moment the fish are still there but not feeding. I bought this deeper start fish finder for Christmas and enjoy using it to see where the fish are, how deep they are and to scan the profile of the bottom of the lake. This is the result of one scan yesterday.
This is a very cleaver bit of kit and scans the water in a conical shape below the sonar. As you reel it in it looks at about 1m diameter depending on the depth of the water. So in a picture like this it has scanned a path through the water about 1m wide between you and where the scanner landed in the water. To pick up 7 fish in one scan shows there are plenty of fish around.
Now that the water temperature has gone down significantly the fishery is returning to normal rules for fishing. Fly fishing as usual, worming from designated pegs only and carp fishing in the top lake. Call for more details if you are unsure of the rules and prices.
Ashley caught 4 cracking rainbows this morning on a small meps spinner. These 2 weighed in at 4lb and 3lb and the other 2 were a bit smaller.
The fish are not responding well to flies so I have opened the fishery to any method while the water remains so hot.
Pantybedw fishery has just had a fresh delivery of cracking, hard fighting rainbows and blues from Exmoor fishery. The fish are bigger than normal and the price has also gone up to cover their cost of food for the fish and electricity. Please see my price list for my updated prices for fishing.
Remember that there is now carp fishing in the top lake at Pant Y Bedw fishery. Grass carp between 15 lb and 20 lb.
"Roy" spent a few hours at Pant y bedw fishery and landed these 2 rainbows This s the first time Roy has had a go at serious fly fishing and was delighted with these 2. Cats whiskers and an olive did the trick. Roy also lost one fish when it slipped the hook.
If they are on the grass they are dead and caught on catch and kill, all the others I encourage my anglers to keep them wet and keep them in the net while unhooking them.
Some cracking rainbows are being caught at Pant y Bedw fishery since the weather has warmed up a bit. Recent stocked fish seem to wake up the older fish. Well done Wayne for netting this beauty and well done for keeping him in net.
PANT Y BEDW FISHERY stocked again with cracking hard fighting rainbows and blues from Exmoor fishery.
The lake is well stocked after the recent stocking of Exmoor rainbows and the lake is open all over Christmas except for Christmas day.
