Latest fishing report from Talyllyn

The opening day of the season was on ‘All Fools Day’ and with wind, rain, sleet and snow greeting anglers one’s sanity could be questioned!
But anglers, being a hardy lot, took to the water with enthusiasm and the burning question: Were their new inventions at the vice going to work . . . or maybe should they have taken the Ghillie’s advice?
Just to keep things interesting, there was a bottle of fine Welsh malt, Penderyn, to the captor of the first fish of the season at stake!
Just 20 minutes into the new season, Mr Steve Watts of Llandeilo not only landed the first fish of the day- a superb over wintered brownie of some 1lb 8oz but also snaffled the bottle of malt as his well deserved prize.
The fish took a Black Pennel on a slow sinking line along Cairn Drift.
Best boat of the day was that of Roger Bradley and Mr Tandy who landed five brownies and two sea trout on black & green lures on an intermediate line.
On the same day that Chelsea were beating Manchester Utd, a Mr Furgeson caught seven brown trout of up to 2lbs!
April should see the first hatch of Olives along with the black buzzers which are already hatching.
