Rod, John and I spent the weekend on the river in the hope that one of us might get a salmon! With the water so low we knew the odds were stacked against us.
On Friday evening we thought we would try for a sewin in the Cattle Drink Pool and started fishing about 6pm. I was the first to go down the pool having fished the Churns first so it was natural to stay in the water and 'follow through' so to speak. At about 6.45pm when it was half light I had a good pull just above the actual cattle drink itself. Then another and the third connected with a good fish which both Rod and John heard but it didn't stay on! After that there was nothing and it went very cold so we packed up at about 7.30pm and went back to the B & B.
Saturday was bright and sunny and useless for fishing but we all went through the motions. Sunday was cloudy but no good!
So the last chance is over and we must wait for next season to catch that elusive Towy salmon! My next report will review the season so if my mates can let me know the number and weights I will include a summary for all to see.
The highlight of the weekend was probably me having to go to Ammanford on Saturday morning, buying some new waders which turn out to be too small! That's £120 down the pan! But best of all was Rod trying to knock himself out back at the B & B when he headbutted a low beam on Sunday morning! He was staggering about for most of the morning and was too afraid to get in the water in case he keeled over! Fortunately he has recovered but now walks slumped over where ever he goes!
Got some nice pictures though!
