It's a bit quiet on here so lets play 'name that trout fishery'. To make it fair it has to be a water in the UK that you have personally fished, and as it is my idea I get to go first ....
Name this trout fishery ...
First person to guess correctly gets to go next, so let's see how long we can keep this thread going.

Wylye was close but Bill (Springwell) gets the cigar. It is Hawkridge Reservoir, near Bridgwater in Somerset.
Your turn, Bill.

Sorry Alan,
That would be too easy. It's not in Wales though. _________________ There is a fine line between the angler and madness |

OK,
Some clues, which should get the answer.
Back in 2009 I fished with the stars, start googling.  _________________ There is a fine line between the angler and madness |

The only water I can picture windmills in the background is Llyn Brenig but don't think that's right. |
