Llangorse Lake in Sir Powys: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Out in Sir Powys, Wales, sits Llangorse Lake. The coast is 28 miles away. This is sizeable water at about 294 acres, and a boat opens up most of it. With 3.4 miles or so of shoreline, boat anglers cover ground the bank cannot. 4.7 miles away sits Llangynidr, the nearest town. The big place round here is Newport, 26 miles distant. No area boundary comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Llangorse Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Reported across Sir Powys: brown trout, Atlantic salmon, European eel, perch and northern pike. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Read Llangorse Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.
