Well ...A RED LETTER DAY, BIG TIME !!!!! . a superb day on one of my favourites ... as I unlocked the gate up by the road, at half six this morning, I knew it was the perfect weather, overcast cloudy with a good south westerly wind, perfect !!!
Over the last twenty of so years fishing here,I know when it's just right , and today was one of those days!!!
Kept on the move here, fishing mainly the Christmas tree bank and at the top end ... just a word of warning if your not used to here, take care on the top boggy end ,many many moons ago, I went through the moorland " crust " into fairly deep water !! Know what vegetation grows over watery terrain and if in doubt go wide or back round,via the boathouse .... stay safe !!!!
Ohhhhhh while I remember interestingly saw the osprey.... been three years since I've seen one up here ... I know they have a site at Llyn Clywedog for a breeding pair that comes regularly ...
Anyway ... like last week, sublime fishing and I fished dries too , my usual deadly patterns for here with a good ripple .... lovely aggressive hits too it !!! Hard to beat in fairness... just thr best of Welsh llyn fishing .... fish sizes were between eight and twelve inches in a frantic tally of thirty seven , I did have a few long range releases to on the dries .... still great fun ....
Looks like rain over the weekend, which is a shame, as its Rhayader carnival day on the Saturday , so will have to take refuge in The Crown or The Eagle's..... think it could be a boozey one !!! A fabulous sporting day up in the moors .... lifes rosey sometimes hey !!!!
