THE NEW CARP LAKE AT LLYN Y GORS
WHERE FISHING DREAMS COME TRUE
Now in its third year Thompson's Pool has now matured into a beautifully
secluded landscape full of wildlife since its opening on the 1st of May
2002. It holds over 35 carp - mostly in the 20 lb to 35 lb range - and 2
cats at 24lb and 29lb 8 oz! But because these fish have a whole 2 and a half
acres to themselves and the lake is rich in all sorts of natural food, it
is estimated that we will soon be seeing forty pounders, especially since
some of the fish are only 4 to 5 years and are a fast-growing strain. There
are only eight swims on the lake, and only two rods per angler. Swims can
be booked for 24 hour sessions (sunday to thursday only) for £25,
and you can now buy a weekly ticket ( 7 x 24 hours) for only
£125. This also applies to residents in the
Cottages and on the
Camp Site - swims have
to be booked separately in advance and are not included in the fishing/restocking
fee.
See the Thompson's Pool Rules
page for more details.
The record carp on Thompson's Pool is currently a 35lb Mirror caught by Anthony Davies. Anthony fished the "Double Bay" swim.
