Egnant is one of the Teifi Pools, the string of headwater lakes above Tregaron where the River Teifi effectively begins its life, and it fishes the way you'd expect water at that altitude to fish — wild browns, thin in the water sometimes but honest, and a landscape so exposed that weather becomes half the story of any day up there. The Teifi Pools aren't subtle: wind finds you, the light changes fast, and there's nowhere to hide from either. Egnant doesn't distinguish itself sharply from its neighbouring pools so much as it completes the set — fish the group as a day, not a single destination, and Egnant earns its place in the rotation.
