15/02/08 River Taff fished well today.Fish were caught on various goldheads and colours.Colin and Ian caught quite a few fish but the best part of the day was the number of fish caught on the dry fly. Then it was to Fagins for a pint of real ale by the log fire to thaw out,nice.

12/3/07 Went to the Taff for a couple of hours brown trout fishing with the dry fly. Sun was shining and the river at summer level and gin clear. Fish were rising to an amazing hatch of flies on went a Grey Duster and missed the first rise at the fly. Then landed a Grayling 14" (out of season) unhooked in the river. Another cast and a Grayling of 16.5 " Decided to stop fishing as the river was full of Grayling!!!! Brownies unable to get to the fly. What a day it could of been for dry fly grayling fishing if it had been in season. Roll on June!
