23rd September 2006 - a day out on the Towy!

What a gorgeous day it was!

John very kindly offered to take me down to the river just for a break and a nice day out. We left home a 6.30 am and got down to Llangadog bridge by 8.30 am. We didn't expect to catch anything it was just a case of being there and enjoying it! The water was low but it was a sunny day, quite breezy but very pleasant!

Guess what, I had 3 visitors. Firstly Chris (Gadget Man) called in to see me which was nice and we had a bit of a laugh. Then Cerith and his girlfriend (forgive me Cerith I can't pronounce her name) but she was very nice and the 2 of them look a good combination. Cerith I hope things work out for you both! Thanks all of you for calling in to see me I really appreciated it.

John as ever was determined to catch and went on to catch about 10 or more small trout, I caught a couple but I wasn't there for that reason. The river looked lovely with its autumn colours starting to show and the red kites were enjoying the day as much as I was.

The best brother-in-law anyone could wish for - although he did try to kill me on the way back home!

Kingfisher takes drastic action to improve catch rate!

I was hoping to get a few days fishing in October but unfortuneately I have to undergo an important operation on the 29th September which I hope will give me back the energy that I once knew. Everyone I speak to who knows someone who has had a heart by-pass operation assures me that it changes their lives so much for the better so I am going to get this out of the way now ready for next season (not strictly true, I have little choice in the matter!).

I might get a days fishing in though before the operation especially if someone will come with me! Any takers? I am virtually work free now and don't expect to go back until probably after Xmas so I should get some piking in too on the River Severn!

The Towy had better look out next year cos there will be no stopping KINGFISHER then!

Tight lines!
