    I make traces for tandem sea trout flies using elasticum wire favoured by sea fisherman. It may be of use? Tight Lines Aled

    I hung up my gumshield last April at the age o 37, not bad me thinks. Now in my opinion the best thing to get that stiffness out is either a gentle swim or a visit to a jacuzzi. I certainly felt better afterwards! I played hooker so i reckon i got a bit of front row experience crouch, touch pause engage...... Good luck with the training, i had two gaps of 2 years during my career, (dislocated shoulder which needed an operation and a snapped achilles tendon which needed an operation). Plan to stay involved with the game, i'm on the club committee, a qualifed ref, first aider, and plan to help

    I'm pleased that you've got your photo, but i see so many otters in West Wales that i've become rather blase about it! Nearly every night or dawn fishing session i see otters, they've followed my flies/spinners accross pools, popped up next to me at 2am scaring the life out of me, and best of all, a mother with two young throwing a sea trout about the pool i believe she was teaching them to hunt. Get yourself to the West of Wales kvn. Tight Lines Aled

    As a bit of an aside, its great to see TV chefs showing an active interest in using field sports to provide food. Don't know about the rest of you but i feel a strong sense of honesty when i catch/shoot someting for the table. The prepartion (e.g. gutting, filleting/jointing etc) then eating. Not all of my meat comes from a cellaphane wrapped package in Tesco's! Tight Lines Aled

    Cant be sure if i've seen a Ghost or not. I do a lot of nigh sea trout fishing, so i've been out and about at the right time for ghosts! On one occasion i was cycling to the river and i saw my neighbour in the field checking his fence line, (he was a farmer) it was only when cycling back home i remembered he'd died three months earlier. Was it his brother cheking the fence??? Secondly i said to good evening (in Welsh) to an old Gentleman wearing a flat cap and carrying a walking stick, he was there one minute, gone the next! On neither occasion was i particularly scared, more a feeling of "wha

    I've managed a sea trout and a salmon in the same day three time in 29 years of angling. 2 of those three occasions were on consecutive days!Salmon and i dont seem to get on with the way i used to, personally i think its too do with fewer salmon running rather than my lack of angling skills.....

    I managed a sea trout, brown trout and rainbow trout in the same day in August 1993. Brown and sea trout was caught from the river Tywi at 5am, and the rainbow came from the Usk reservoir late afternoon, this was done by design. Did also by accident catch a brown rainbow and sea trout from the River Taff in Cardiff on October the 17th 2002. Tight Lines Aled

    Nice one Tote. I managed one on the worm at the end of May, have not had a touch since! Runs aint wat they used to be on the Tywi any more either. Tight Lines Aled

    Thats sacralige longdogrunner, no wonder you cried, one of the tastiest birds around!! I'm no expert oloftgere but on shoots that i used to beat on, i always saw dog workers pick up woodcock from the game cart and hold in front of the dog, and encouraged the dog to smell it. Thats all i can add i'm afraid. Cheers Aled

    Spending time with wife and son come number one however..... I also enjoy fly fishing especially for se atrout, or sewin as we call em here, also tie my own flies. Rough and air rifle shooting in winter. Just retired from playing rugby so am now the 1st aid and committee man, also looking forward to watching a bit more. I love reading....a lot. Enjoy a couple of pints but nowhere near as much as i used to. Finally as we've been camping it up i thoroughly enjoy a double gin and tonic with ice and lemon at 9pm on Friday night, usually followed by another one . Unless i'm going fishing. Tight

    Thoroughly enjoyed that slide show, i love seeing youngsters enjoying field sports. My son is 21 months and i can''t wait to take hime fishing. As an aside who's singing the accompanying song?? The voice sounds familiar, but i've never heard the song. Cheers. Tight Lines Aled

    I did the same with a chicken chausser sauce, and the rabbit was just edible, but not exceptional, tried it with other cook in sauces such as curry, sweet and sour, and casserole mix and it was lovely. Maybe the mix of flavours does not suit rabbit meat?? Cheers Aled

    Mepps anglia longue size 3 or 4 in bronze or silver or the Irish Lane Minnow. I dont do anywhere near as much spinning as i used i seem to do better on fly for some reason, i reckon its got a lot to do with self confidence in whats at the end of your line. Tight Lines Aled

    I had shoulder surgery on a dislocated shoulder (slightly different injury i know) in 1995 and since then it has been fine. I've been able to play rugby without any problems. Get it sorted the surgery now is even better than then. Good luck. Aled

    Salmon dont seem to get to my part of the Tywi as often as they used to however the odd one does arrive. Tomorrows the day. We've had some rain and the river is falling back nicely. Tight Lines Aled

    I'm one of the lucky ones as i have had a couple of doubles, best 13lb 9ozs. Chuffed with that one i could tell you. There are some sewin around in April, but give me a good flood in May and we can have great sport with fish from about 4lb up. These early fish are also the best eaters, they have blood red flesh and go really well with Hollandase sauce and early vegetables. Lovely. Fly at night is my passion. What about the Tyne?
