Glowing end-of-term report for Talyllyn fishery
The fishing season has now closed. Here, Phil Wood, Head Ghillie at the world-famous Talyllyn fishery in the Snowdonia National Park, gives his end-of-term report –
Alas the end of the season has arrived and it seems just like last week when the snow was on the hills and we eagerly awaited the season to kick off.
Some nice bags of fish were recorded throughout September.
Messrs Wilde and Harries took 16 fish up to 1lb 12oz on Hoppers, George Lowe caught seven fish on Half Hogs and Hoppers, while C Lindsey and Jamie Roper caught 14 brownies on Sedges.
Mr J Wilde came back and caught another 16 fish on Black Hoppers, J Hughes caught 21 on a Muddle, John Tansey and Ian Monk caught 10 fish up to 1lb 8oz.
Bob Hillam and Brad Eley had 19 fish up to 1lb 12oz on Black Dries. Nathen Williams had 19 fish on a Green Peter, Muddler and a Black Dobbler.
Resident ghillie Graham Bell caught 28 fish up to 2lb 12oz on an Olive and Jonathan Roberts had 13 fish on Dobbles.
Scottish brothers Jim and Will Christie had 30 fish over two days while staying at Ty'n y Cornel Hotel.
John Lane had seven fish on a Clan Chief and local angler Peter Bryant had 10 fish up to 1lb 12oz on a Black Pennel.
Meanwhile, Emyr Lewis and Edwin Jones had 14 fish on a Green Peter and Olive Klink-hammer.
The annual end of season challenge between the owners and the team of Talyllyn ghillies recorded 70 fish between them at the beginning of October on mainly wets - and mostly in favour of the ghillies it has to be said!
Meanwhile, congratulations to two members of the recently-formed Ty’n y Cornel Young Anglers Club, namely Tim Chessworth and Elan Evans who have qualified to fish for Wales at next year’s youth international in Scotland.
We all very much look forward to the first Saturday of next season when the Young Anglers Club will reconvene.
2010 has been a great year for Talyllyn with the Commonwealth Championship being held here and the weed cutting programme well underway.
We can’t wait to start further development in conjunction with Wild Fishing Wales.
Tight lines and hope to see you all on 1st April 2011
The Talyllyn fishery is operated from the Ty’n y Cornel Hotel.
