Trip #88 - Back at Bills
Ironically many people find themselves in the autumn and
winter months with some additional spare time, in these months however but we
seem to be at our busiest. With work and various life matters being flat out
there seems to be no end in sight of places to go, thing to buy and people to
see. Still, being the opportunist angler that I am, meant despite travelling
home I was able to arrange a few hours on the fly with my Dad and Grandfather.
We would be heading down to Riverside for a few hours to try and tempt some last gasp puddle pigs that resided there before the seasons really took a turn for the worst.

Trip #85 - Bubbling Brooks and Cruising Carp.
This weekend was going to be spent the other side of the
bridge after my wife and I decided (rather last minutely) to go home and visit
our parents. This also meant that a fishing double was on the cards. My Dad is
a keen river angler but like me will target anything that swims, so persuading
him to get on the river should be a fairly easy job, and if those fish weren't
playing ball I knew a venue which always produces on the fly this time of year,
come rain, wind or shine.
Part 1 - River Taff
It wasn't an overly early start in comparison to some other
fishing trips I have I had with my Dad but we were up and out of the house just
after 8 which meant plenty of time for a McDonalds breakfast...WIN!

Trip #30 - Carp on the Fly
This was a
trip that I went on whilst home in South Wales in the autumn of 2012.
I have been talking to my brother recently about his most recent fishing trips and he has done his best to gloat about his extraordinary catch rate using this particular method. On a recent trip back to the Welsh valleys I thought, what better an opportunity to try it out. So my father, brother and I made our plans and I looked forward to trying out this method for carp. Our venue was a small two lake fishery, which I have fished numerous times in the past, called Riverside. Normally when I go fishing, even if it’s a short trip, the car is full of everything fishing, from waterproofs, to carryalls, and rod bags to bait buckets. So when we got to the lake with just a bag of chum mixer biscuits, 3 fly rods and a landing net I was sceptical about what we were in for.
