Anyone wet a fly this weekend?

 

Fished the Afon Glaslyn yesterday for a few hours after work.

Plenty of fish rising despite the bitter cold but none were tempted by any of my dry flies.

Looking back I'm guessing they were feeding just beneath the film of the water surface.

Back on the river Wednesday, promising warmer weather.

Caught 3 rainbows, lost 2 on Llyn Ogwen in Snowdonia last week.

 

Very chuffed as we were having to cast 90 degrees across the wind to get the line out. Glad I'd been practising my double haul and we even had the RAF doing fly by's low overhead. Cracking day.

 

Where were you looking for sea trout Aled?

Not at the moment as thay took gaul bladder out by bellybutton and i had a hernia there which got done as well so sitting upright is a bit painfull at mow.

Have tried but sore as hell to stay upright for long but like missis I will get there and cant have all that pain again.so on wards and up wards.

Where did you fish? Catching trout on buzzers and nymphs is my favourite way to fish

Yes we are oldypigeonpopper, and very lucky at the foresight, hard work, and commitment of many people back in the 60's who pooled, skills, and finances together to buy fishing rights on the river, and allow us to fish it at an affordable price. The clubs first loan's "guarantors" were the local Minister of Religion and GP.

Wales have a very good history of Angling Associations offering affordable angling for both local and visiting anglers alike.

I'm a big fan of angling associations.

Fished grafham today . Tough day was very windy overcast with sunny spells .managed 2 rainbows and 2 browns with another rainbow lost and lots of takes but they were very gentle and hard to connect with . 3 fish were taken on a bloodworm and one to a daiwl bach . Also caught a perch on the bloodworm .

Had a nice few hours on the club water, near Bolton, today. Using an Irish pattern Lough fly that I have caught on there before, my first cast the fly was floating (it is a wet fly) as I was about to 'drown' it, it was taken. Fish number 1, a Rainbow around 2 1/2lbs. So I dried the fly and applied some floatant and put out again. I went on to catch a further 3 fish and had 1 take which just smashed the leader as the fish tore off. I was given 3 of these flies whilst fishing in Ireland over 15 years ago, I have copied the pattern and it has become my 'go to' fly if conditions are hard. I always have it as a top dropper on a team of 3, fished from a boat.

 

I do not seem able to post a picture !

Excellent stuff For me there is no better way to catch trout then on nymphs and buzzers Were they high in the water ? At grafham on Sunday the fish were deep all fish were taken on point except one on middle dropper
