Post by: Aled on April 15, 2021, 16:25
Hello All
I hope you are all well. The fishing season is upon us and i hope to enjoy many trips during the forthcoming season. I hope i can enjoy some self caught fish with home grown veg later in the year. Anybody been out yet?

Hi Aled
Long time no speak. Hope you are well.
Just back in from a localish lake. Caught 1 lost 2 and missed a few. Rainbows. At least we have 1 dinner sorted :-)
Lovely in the sun but cold when it clouded over. But then the fishing was better. We do suffer ☺️

Been out a couple of times no sea trout yet! However I had a good day at Clywedog, and managed a personal best rainbow trout of 5lb.

Nice fish, Aled. And what a lovely place to catch it.

I went salmon fishing to Scotland the first week in May. When I eventually get my phone back I'll post a picture of an absolute specimen (not caught by me by the way). I caught a 12.5 lb salmon, which was the biggest fish of the week until Friday, and then my mate caught a 15 lb salmon. I cried. End.

Well done, Merf.  Not easy to catch salmon in Scotland nowadays, or so I’m told.  Where were you fishing ?

We were fishing the North Esk, near Edzell.

The two attached pics show me holding a 12.5lb salmon and Mick holding an 8lb salmon, and the other pic shows Mick with his 15lb salmon.

Sea trout fishing last week, had a cracking take and a good fish ran off into the darkness, good fight many jumps netted a fish of around 5lb....shone the torch on it to remove the hook and return the fish...turned out i'd landed a male Brown Trout nearly dropped the torch! This week the river has produced at least four other Brown Trout over 3lb. The Tywi is not known as a Brown Trout river, and large fish like this are turning up regularly. Anybody know why?
Cheers
