This blog is a record of my fly fishing antics since 2006 on my beloved River Towy. I hope you find it informative and entertaining. Tight lines!

Rod gets lucky with bar of silver!
Tuesday night Rod hit a cracking sewin at 11.20 pm! At 10 lb + it was to many a fish of a life time but to Rod it was just another nights fishing!!! Actually he caught it in a rare moment when he wasn't asleep!
Thanks, it was a cracking fish and broad and both of us thought it was the best sea trout we'd ever seen, really fresh and only in the river a few days. It was a good take and I thought it was a small fish at first then it realised it was hooked and fought hard but stayed deep for a while, which is unusual. However some acrobatics followed before Andrew kindly tailed it for me. He could have waited for me to smile as I looked scared stiff!! It recovered quickly and swam off strongly. Andrew thought it would have made some tasty cutlets!!
Hi Andrew

Great fish for Rod there! Well done. Was it from Crewil or down the bottom end? Cheers. Tim
