Club competitions
Iorrie Lewis lake competition
The Iorrie Lewis lake competition is generally held in early May on Llys-y-Fran or Clywedog reservoirs. Anglers are welcome to fish in this competition from either the boat or bank. In memory of the late Iorrie Lewis, the Club’s former President, this competition is an informal event with no restriction on fishing methods or fly sizes. It is the first competition in the Club’s calendar and, despite being an informal day, it is usually keenly fought.
Alan Butler Spring lake competition
The Alan Butler Spring lake flyfishing competition is held on Llyn Brenig in North Wales usually in mid June. Fished to International rules from a boat this is a popular competition which often results in good dry fly fishing. Fishing starts at 10 am and completes at 6pm with a weigh-in at the lodge. The event is normally followed by a dinner and drinks in Aberaeron.
David Morgan Autumn lake competition
The David Morgan Autumn lake flyfishing competition is normally held on Llyn Brenig in North Wales in September. Fished to International rules from a boat this is the last Club competition of the year and again often results in good dry fly fishing. Fishing starts at 10 am and completes at 6pm with a weigh-in at the lodge. The event is normally followed by a dinner and drinks in Aberaeron
Other lake days
Lake members of the Club also organise regular trips to reservoirs and lakes in Wales and England. These are non competition days and are a good chance to fish with experienced anglers and learn new tricks. There is usually someone fishing a lake somewhere, most weekends throughout the season, weather conditions permitting.
The Club also organises on an ad hoc basis, short 2-3 day trips to places such as Chew Valley, Draycote and Rultland Water. For more information contact the Lake Secretary.
