Once
greeted by the bailiff and relieved of your cash at the lodge
you are confronted by the biggest lake Roxy, in many ways the ‘Jewel
in the Crown’, of Barn Elms Fly Fishery. Stream fed in the top corner
it fishes well all year. Virtually rectangular in shape all sides produce fish
but
as the
weather warms the fish
move in the direction of the inlet and the top of the lake and the island area
opposite. There is a 15ft depth channel through the middle of Roxy leading
to the main bridge where it meets the shallower waters of Diawl Bach.
Many an angler has reached his bag far too soon by being reluctant to move away
from this popular area of the fishery.
