Work carried out by Natural Resources Wales to improve the fishing lake at Cwmcarn Forest has been completed.
NRW staff carried out a habitat improvement project which included creating a temporary dam at the top of the lake where the fish were held while the work took place.
The lake is popular with anglers of all ages and abilities and has introduced many younger and disabled anglers to the sport.
NRW has worked with Cwmcarn Angling Association and Caerphilly County Borough Council to develop the lake and its facilities which include several fishing platforms including one specially designed for disabled anglers.
Michael Clyde, South East Fisheries Team Leader for Natural Resources Wales said: “The fishing lake is just one of many attractions that will remain open at Cwmcarn while we carry out felling work to combat a disease killing larch trees in the forest.
“Visitors can still enjoy the visitor centre, play areas, footpaths and mountain bike trails which will remain open all year round.”
The £12,000 project was paid for by Caerphilly County Borough Council and Natural Resources Wales.
Forest Drive, a seven mile road through Cwmcarn Forest, will close on Sunday November 2 to fell and remove more than 150,000 diseased trees.
