Hmm. On topic for this ng, I suppose it might be the tuesday before
Christmas - nominally grayling fishing.

I squeezed in a two hour session on the river when the weather screamed
'fish' that morning. 8 grayling up to 1 1/5 lb, 12 trout - three over 2lb
and one over 3lb all on bread on #14 hooks. I could have caught loads more
but didn't have the time. Pattern was: spot shoal, groundbait, catch a
couple of grayling then the trout move in and take over, move along to next
shoal and repeat. I didn't fish half the stretch.

The surprise being the size and number of trout, I don't think I had a
single 2lb fish from that stretch in the season but now they've obviously
run up from somewhere. They were a nuisance in that the bigger grayling
were only just beginning to feed when the trout muscled in each time.

Cheerio,

Hi Andy - never mind it was well worth the effort copying/obtaining a
smattering of Yr Hen Iaith.

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda....this is natural - uncopied or cribbed.

Oh a Happy new Year to Alex if he's floating around
