I'm going down on Monday for a few days as it's the only chance I'll get before the end of the season because of personal commitments! I may fish or I may not but one thing is for certain I'll get some peace! Having had my son and his wife staying with us for 4 days with their daughter Riya I'm ready to escape! With a dustbin full of nappies and a house that's been turned upside down I need space. By the way Riya is no trouble at all poor thing!!
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!

Sandy's report!
Managed to get hold of Sandy tonight. As you will know he hasn't been well. Anyway you will be pleased to know that he is feeling much better and his doctor is pleased with his progress too! He's talking about going fishing again soon!
One thing of particular interest that he told me about regarding his recent fishing trip is that on the last couple of nights he discovered the effectiveness of the Jambo! He got more offers and pulls on this than any other method - and some big fish too! So maybe he was fishing too deep even with a floating line? Interesting!
Tim's latest report
Tim Wilkinson has been fishing and sent me this report!
I had 2 nights this week - Wed on Crewil. I saw a few fish early doors, but nothing apart from a parr. One of the lads (Miguel's mate) had a 5 lb-er. Dai had one on, but lost it. Thurs I went down the bottom, but the strength of the wind was a problem. I had a take and fish on, then thrash at surface and fish off. This was in the pool above Andy's pool in the small slack on the opposite bank. I didn't see or hear any fish at all. Well the rain has come and hopefully, with the nets off and fresh water coming in, the sewin will start to run. Typical though, I'm off the Scotland tomorrow morning for a few days (not fishing unfortunately) so it'll have to wait until I come back. Maybe I'll see you down there before the end of the season. Please pass on my best wishes to Sandy, when you see him.
We need some decent rain I think. If we get some then I might venture out the week after next but without rain I think the prospects are poor!
