Cerith tells us his story for 2007 and a bit about the past!

Here is a summary of my catch statistics for 2007.

Total sewin caught is 21 all between 1lb and 4.5lb and of course the 15.5oz sewin that was donated to the hatchery. Of these I returned 12 to fight another day. I also caught one grilse at 7.5lb. Kept. All fish were caught on either worm or spinner, none on the fly this year.

Since I began fishing I have kept records of all sewin and salmon caught, that's more than 20 years worth, which includes methods, dates and where. I also have a number of records of the fish my grandfather caught. This winter I will log them all on the computer and send you a copy. My best year on the Tywi was 1999 (the year I left university and had nothing to do but fish), that year I caught over 50, the worst year was 1991 with only one sewin. 50 fish in a year isn't bad but my grandfather once caught 24 in a day in the 60's.

Hopefully i'll see you all in the AGM in January.
