I’m not being very good lately in regards to updating my blog…although in my defence, I have been fishing a lot and a HELL of a lot of planning for the upcoming Scotland trip I plan to go no with another fishing partner of mine…getting excited! Anyway…that’s another story for another time

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been doing a lot of fishing on the Taff, and with excellent results! The fish are really on to dries at the moment, with small (size 16 and upwards) CDC and Elk being the main culprit.

With that said, since last Thursday, the Taff has been out of play due to all this heavy rain we’ve been having…so, a spot of wild brownie fishing was called for on the Upper Neuadd Reservoir, which fished very hard! Also, the weekend saw me up at Usk Reservoir for a spot of stockie bashing.

The rains through South Wales subsided slightly yesterday afternoon, and the skies of kept dry all night and are clearing of cloud nicely…so, after work, I’ll be scrutinising the Taff (rod in hand of course), and will hopefully manage a few hours fishing!

Well, an awesome couple of weeks on the Taff, it’s been fishing its head off!

The last three outings have seen my land 21 fish, all a mixture of 4” up to an amazing 12”. Why is it that people look at me as if I’ve got two heads when, in response to their questions, I tell them I put them all back?

The wildlife is also coming into full bloom; I’m noticing more and more kingfishers flitting back and forth, and the squeaking of the bats when the evening starts to darken is slightly unnerving!

Anyway, below are a few of the photos taken during the Monnow Social (aka SausageFest 2007 as it later became known!) that I attended on the weekend starting 18th May. Unfortunately, I haven’t had a chance to write up the weekend due to me being out fishing…which, personally, I think is better than writing about fishing
