Welsh Marches

A small group of us took an eagerly anticipated trip to the rivers and streams of the Welsh Marches which ended with mixed results.




The river levels had dropped to almost perfect levels and the temperatures had risen over the last day or so. Everything seemed right but for whatever reason the fish were not really in the mood to respond.




There were three rivers targeted and the fishing started slow with little to show for the effort. The slight rise in temperatures mid afternoon seemed to stir a few into a feeding mode and although still not really 'up for it' they did generate a little excitement for one or two of us.





My tally for the day peaked at a dozen Grayling and the day ended with us all meeting up in a cosy country pub for a pint or two to discuss the days events...Mmm nice!!!
