Is that fair on the fish ? As I often tell myself just before I blank, "they've got no chance !"

Had a couple of hours double handed switch and light fly rod fishing near Hay on Wye Saturday. Missed a few grayling/trout takes as I am soo bloody slow striking (too much lazy salmon fishing!)
Had a couple of big chub before the inevitable barrage of canoeists came...
I directed the first dozen of so to pass behind me, but then the whole river was taken up by them and I headed for the bank before I got taken out!

I got the idea there wasn't a salmon within 5 miles of me.

Beautiful spot though.

The river round Hay is really very beautiful.
What state was it in?

Some big buggers in those flies. I guess they match the size of crickets you find. Let us know how you get on.

Quite low and reasonably clear mate (considering!) I was just down from The Boat Inn downstream of Hay. Lovely stretch.
You can get free days on the 'More Rods On Rivers' for fly fishing if you are a member of the Wye Salmon Association... £10 a year!

My mate took it. That's me fishing energetically to the right.

Wonderful day today. Went to the polluted river Avon, just because I like the scenery. I had the best day I've ever had on there, 6 bream over 4lbs, a chub of 3.5lbs and lost another chub of similar size in the lillies. Really cheered me up to see what has survived when I thought it was barren. Best bit is, so does everyone else, so no one is fishing it. I'm not going to tell them !!

I got a new Welsh one mate... after being dumped by the posh one.

I actually caught 2 salmon earlier in the season and got my mate one whilst ghillieing for him...

I am the fisher king once more!

Now get off this anglers only thtead, you old dribbler! :)

Ps. I am currently having a cuppa with Snork senior and he says Hi.
