mackeral tend to hit West Wales early May when the waters warm up....Bass are pretty close behind. Hope this helps -
Cracked open my first ever bottle yesterday evening.......ITS BLOODY FANTASTIC !!! My wife is convinced that i've pulled a fast one and swapped them over, she can't believe that from a smelly bucket of flower heads you can produce something so nice. I'm just a bit miffed that I only made six litres, I planned on giving some to friends but now i've gone all "secret squirrel" !!! :whistling: Note: make sure it is very very chilled as it can froth up when opened... every drop counts !

Hope this isn't a silly one......where are they ?

you are right ....its Gunnera (spell?) Grows like mad in a damp / moist soil. Dies down every winter and comes back even bigger this plant is ten years old and was planted as a cutting. My daughter loves it, especially when she is sheltering from th rain !

What sort of price are we talking ? Thanks.

thanks mate. i shall bare that in mind iam just going to order my kit probably a 9 weight. would you say a floating or intermidiate line i only have enough money for one at the moment so which would you say is the most importnt to have?? gossy I don't really have a preferance between the two, I tend to use a floating line with a 10-12 foot leader. If you go for the intermediate remember that this is salt water- more dense and more likley to keep an intermediate floating. There are specific salt water lines available because of the salt in the water. I tend to alter the length of the

I have found that you really need an 8 rated line as a minimum to get decent cast in the wind. Head winds tend to be easier than side winds and a weight forward will help get the extra distance. Line speed and loading the rod are the key, using a double haul (loads of instruction on youtube) should also help. An O.S. map is always useful to find that "sheltered mark"

Had a couple of nice Rainbows yesterday....one off the top and one with a buzzer. Real weed problems in the lake with this hot weather......you can almost see the stuff growing. Fishing with a two pound leader isn't easy when you try to land a pound and a half fish with three pound of weed. Thinking of introducing grass carp to try and combat the weed, anyone ever done this ? (the pigeon came after I packed up and was having a stroll round the lake..... healthy diet this weekend!)

Took my daughter fishing yesterday morning at a syndicate water and we had a trout each on the fly. After packing up we had a stroll around the lake and I bagged a pigeon, 35 yards and it dropped out of the tree like a stone. Bag of oven chips, couple of bottles of cider.....weekend sorted

the only advise I can give is keep trying, I have been looking for land for months and still no joy. If you can speak to the land owner face to face it may help in the long run ?

Good shooting, you obviously taught him well :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:

I have recently "found" a little stretch of brook, its about 5-6 foot wide and gin clear. I've been walking it quite regularly lately watching loads of chubb and dace. Last week I noticed a couple of wild brown trout, one was a good couple of pounds. I would class myself as a pretty experienced fly fisherman but these fish are proving to be very shy, it's pretty impossible to get in the brook downstream and fish up and when I get in up stream they scarper at the first false cast. Has anyone got any experience of the bow and arrow cast ? I am using a seven foot brook rod with a three weight l

decoys and road kill squirrel work pretty good also.
