    BOOTS

    Don't be afraid to try millets or blacks. My mate got a pair for £20 which retailed at £60 in a sporting magazine.I've got a pair of walking boots from blacks at £50 (half price sale) they are very comfartable, warm do the job well and i reckon good value. Cheers Aled
  2. I'm no expert at this game but i would argue if you'd enjoyed yourself you can definately count the day a succesfull one. Sounds good anyway. Well done. Cheers Aled
  3. Dont know mate as I dont fish but I will find out!! Sorry Foxhunter did not explain myself very well saw pictures of your ground and though "cor that looks good all he needs is some trout in that lake and its perfect" hence the above question. Cheers Aled
  4. Nice one Foxhunter, any fish in that quarry?? Cheers Aled

    Ive moved

    I think Baldies got a good point. As a student we used to collect wood from the river bank which got washed down with the floods, used to keep us warm at any rate and cost us nothing but loading it in the car and cutting it. Cheers Aled
  6. Nice walk and a nice bag. Cheers Aled
  7. Went to harvest some sloes with father in law yesterday. Got 2 litres of sloe gin fermenting nicely in the garage. Also found a cracking spot for some rough shooting later in the year. Nice walk out Cheers Aled
  8. I fish the Welsh Rivers (Tywi, Teifi, Taff etc). A good book to read is Hugh Falkus book on Salmon Fishing its got a good section on Worm fishing in there. Tight Lines Aled
  9. The red one makes lovely (oh yes lovely.....) bodies for buzzer imitiation flies. Also handy for carrying salmon back home with on the very rare occasions i catch one! Cheers Aled
  10. Foxhunter i love days like that. Nice one Cheers Aled
  11. Good old fashioned lob worms from the veg patch, in a bunch fished bouncing along the bottom. If you like spinning my personnal favourite is a mepp size 3 or 4 bronze anglia longue Fly's any type of shrimp pattern or a thunder and lightning. But what you really need is loads of self confidence that what you are doing is right, and salmon in your stretch of the river. Tight Lines Aled
  12. I also thoroughly enjoyed his programmes, but like nelson i always thought "sooner or later". Its sad news guys. Cheers Aled

    Most hideous lager

    Whats worth noting is that sometimes even cheaper lager tastes OK. The tescoes home brand Dutch Lager (the one up from the blue n red band) is actually quite tidy when served chilled! Anyway Skol not really my favourite pint, can't stomcah special brew, but rather partial to Buckleys Brains IPA Cheers Al

    Shed

    Havent got a shed per say but back half of the garage is mine: Usuall outdoor stuff, camo jacket, boots, waders, rods, lamps, plus fly tying bench, small fridge for beer and a cheap argos radio to listen to sport....nice place to relax away from the missus. Cheers Al
  15. The best fly in the entire world is in my opinion the one in which you've got self confidence in. Its better to fish the "wrong" fly well than to fish the "right" fly badly. All the flies put n here though are good fly's Tight Lines Al
  16. Nice one David Thought u been quiet FH. Cheers Al

  18. River Tywi in the wild west of Wales. Tight Lines Aled
  19. Fished all night for sea trout on Monday. Caught two rather stale fish of about 1.5lb returned both as they were not at their best. Caught one at dusk and the other at dawn. Not a touch in between. Still nice to be out. Tight Lines Aled
  20. It was when i finished education and started work i suddenly realised it was possible to be happy!!! Cheers Al
  21. Nice fish, they will taste superb out of the sea like that. I had a 2pounder over the weekend. Fish starting to colour so i put it back. Tight Lines Al
  22. I have not tried it on a BBQ Pennymeadow looks good , will have a go as soon as i catch something, going away to fish this weekend for 3 days. Lovely. Tight Lines Aled
  23. Smaller sea trout and trout fried in butter n bacon fat. Larger fish, wrapped in foil with butter lemon juice salt n pepper. Tight Lines Aled
  24. Two crackers there mate Well done, can't wait for next week to get back out amongst the sea trout again. Gotta work this weekend. Tight Lines Aled
