I bet you have a treasure trove of knowledge from all the years fishing the rivers and coves of our beautiful country. Been taking my 9yr old boy around some of my favourite beats this season scouting for big browns and weve had a very successful season so far. Its either the Towy or the Tawe tomorrow if the weather is okay. Hope to keep the success going as we search for that once in a lifetime trophy fish. Im just happy to have my son out in nature in the wonderful fresh air instead of infront of a bloody computer screen. He is a super keen young fisherman and is progressing at lightning pace. Teaching him all ive learnt myself over the years. He's inherited that competitive edge that i possess so we always have a little comp between ourselves which adds to the fun of it all. We are so spoiled here in Wales for unspoilt natural beauty and thats one of the most enjoyable parts of fishing in Wales. Thanks for the tips from Taff in Carmarthenshire 😊

If it’s hard to get down to fish it’s usually less fished , places to get down easy are usually battered with less fish. It’s like wreck fishing on an unmarked wreck , it’s a gold mine with big fish . Soon as it’s known people over fish it and takes years to bring stocks back up if it does recover , most times big fish never return back there .

I came up with the Three Lakes Challenge many years ago in North Wales which involved walking to 3 of the highest lakes. Did it for a hospice charity and the media covered it. I toyed with whether I should make more of it and deliberately decided not to thinking that these waters are quite sensitive places and things should be low key. I love hiking and fly fishing for wild trout and have been doing it nearly 40 years (used to guide in N Wales etc). My main destinations now are in very wild parts of Scotland. I don't promote or name where I go. Still trekking up to very remote places but maybe a bit slower at 62. Tight Lines.

Many of the West and North Wales angling clubs allow spinning for trout, on rivers that are often small and overgrown, so fly casting is difficult. A video like this provides guidance for those wishing to try lure fishing, a very enjoyable form of fishing, and as you can see, no treble hooks and no damaged fish in the video thanks to great fish handling.
