Hello

I'm a keen sea angler who has just had a go at small water fly-fishing and very nice it was to! I Usually put a catch report up for my sea fishing in the South Wales forum but as it was a fly - fishing trip I might just as well put a report up here.

I went to a small water fishery in Carmathenshire called Garnffrewd fished a dry fly known as an olive! had a cople of rises but no luck. I was then advised to tie a gold head nymph 4 foot below a little float type thing and bang! I was away. Caught several nice rainbows up to 3lbs and a nice brownie of around 3.5lbs. All fish bar 2 rainbows were returned.

If you want the full story visit my site below and check out the blog for pictures and the full story. I enjoyed the session alot more than I thought I would so I'm sure you will see me visiting the fly fishing forum again soon.

Well done Dave.
Congratulations on catching your first trout on fly.:punk:
You'll soon outgrow those small fisheries and then start fishing for wild browns and maybe sewin.

If you need any help(and if I can help) don't be afraid to ask.:bye1:
