The 59 acre Llanishen Reservoir, in Cardiff has been one of the best still water Fly fishing venues in cardiff for over 75 years. However, if the new proposed development takes place, this will be reduced to a meager 11 acres. Many local anglers are outraged at this, as are local residents, believing it to be the end of this local amenity.

Anyone who wants to go fly fishing in Cardiff will have to travel out of the capital.

The South Wales Echo has taken issue with the planners and are asking for written objections to be sent in to the paper, so that they may forward them all on, to Cardiff County Council. The contact address is Steve Edwards, South Wales Echo, Thomson House, Havelock Street, Cardiff, or email to steve.edwards@wme.co.uk
