Hi Caron,

  good to see you about.  I only got my permit this week, but will be 
hoping to get out over the weekend. We've had a chilly NE wind here for 
some time, so I wasn't too bothered...might have been better going down 
to the river after the brief rain.


How about Cwellyn?  Or maybe Padarn,  - it's been a while, but I always 
found that Padarn fished well in the early part of the year.
Drive just a bit further, and come up to Ogwen/Idwal - I'd be happy to 
show you round.

Having fished Cwellyn with dismal results the S W bank is pretty 
inaccessible. (For dismal read zero!)

Llyn Idwal and Ogwen - call that fishing - the wind was soooo strong 
that fly fishing was in name only.  We did try Dave ! ...:-)

Padarrn I have not fished, but looks very nice especially if it can be 
fished from a boat.  I've no idea of the possibility of bank fishing.

  it's not easy, but I think that they are now well-equipped with boats 
etc.  Tee hee, the missus has just bought a VW campervan, so I can see 
the odd weekend slipping down that way....  :+)

ah well - it's all good practice, and a change from chasing stockies. 
And, now you know why my casting looks so weird....Get it on the right 
day though...

  Again, it's tricky, but there are some areas, especially at the bottom 
end near the old bridge.


I just spotted this item about the salmon restocking of the Taff - looks

Two years ago I "entertained" an American friend from ROFF - another 
newsgroup- who wanted to have a couple of days fishing in Wales. The 
weather was so hot and had been dry for weeks that the rivers were 
running very low indeed. We fished the Irfon in Llangammarch Wells but 
the levels were so low as to make it nigh on impossible.

The following day my friend went on his own to Merthyr to fish Taf. He 
described it "like fishing in a sewer, but the fishing was very good"  I 
don't wish to offend the Merthyr anglers, I'm just quoting his remarks.

I have since heard good things about the Taf.

  it's not easy, but I think that they are now well-equipped with boats 
etc.  Tee hee, the missus has just bought a VW campervan, so I can see 
the odd weekend slipping down that way....  :+)

ah well - it's all good practice, and a change from chasing stockies. 
And, now you know why my casting looks so weird....Get it on the right 
day though...

Two years ago I "entertained" an American friend from ROFF - another 
newsgroup- who wanted to have a couple of days fishing in Wales. The 
weather was so hot and had been dry for weeks that the rivers were 
running very low indeed. We fished the Irfon in Llangammarch Wells but 
the levels were so low as to make it nigh on impossible.

The following day my friend went on his own to Merthyr to fish Taf. He 
described it "like fishing in a sewer, but the fishing was very good"  I 
don't wish to offend the Merthyr anglers, I'm just quoting his remarks.

I have since heard good things about the Taf.

Hi Caron,

  good to see you about.  I only got my permit this week, but will be 
hoping to get out over the weekend. We've had a chilly NE wind here for 
some time, so I wasn't too bothered...might have been better going down 
to the river after the brief rain.


How about Cwellyn?  Or maybe Padarn,  - it's been a while, but I always 
found that Padarn fished well in the early part of the year.
Drive just a bit further, and come up to Ogwen/Idwal - I'd be happy to 
show you round.

Having fished Cwellyn with dismal results the S W bank is pretty

Llyn Idwal and Ogwen - call that fishing - the wind was soooo strong 
that fly fishing was in name only.  We did try Dave ! ...:-)

Padarrn I have not fished, but looks very nice especially if it can be 
fished from a boat.  I've no idea of the possibility of bank fishing.

Hi Caron,

  good to see you about.  I only got my permit this week, but will be 
hoping to get out over the weekend. We've had a chilly NE wind here for 
some time, so I wasn't too bothered...might have been better going down 
to the river after the brief rain.


How about Cwellyn?  Or maybe Padarn,  - it's been a while, but I always 
found that Padarn fished well in the early part of the year.
Drive just a bit further, and come up to Ogwen/Idwal - I'd be happy to 
show you round.

Having fished Cwellyn with dismal results the S W bank is pretty 
inaccessible. (For dismal read zero!)

Llyn Idwal and Ogwen - call that fishing - the wind was soooo strong 
that fly fishing was in name only.  We did try Dave ! ...:-)

Padarrn I have not fished, but looks very nice especially if it can be 
fished from a boat.  I've no idea of the possibility of bank fishing.

  it's not easy, but I think that they are now well-equipped with boats 
etc.  Tee hee, the missus has just bought a VW campervan, so I can see 
the odd weekend slipping down that way....  :+)

ah well - it's all good practice, and a change from chasing stockies. 
And, now you know why my casting looks so weird....Get it on the right 
day though...

  Again, it's tricky, but there are some areas, especially at the bottom 
end near the old bridge.

encouraging for you lot down there...

Two years ago I "entertained" an American friend from ROFF - another 
newsgroup- who wanted to have a couple of days fishing in Wales. The 
weather was so hot and had been dry for weeks that the rivers were 
running very low indeed. We fished the Irfon in Llangammarch Wells but 
the levels were so low as to make it nigh on impossible.

The following day my friend went on his own to Merthyr to fish Taf. He 
described it "like fishing in a sewer, but the fishing was very good"  I 
don't wish to offend the Merthyr anglers, I'm just quoting his remarks.

I have since heard good things about the Taf.
