Czech nymphing on the River Taff

February 15th, 2008

Well what a day. Went up the Taff for the day. All was going well until I neared the motorway exit , when all the traffic came to complete stand still.
I waited in the traffic for a couple of hours turned of the junction only to be directed straight back on to the motorway. After another hour I made it to the next junction and headed off on the back roads.
As a small aside it infuriates me when maps are not accurate so boding around the back lanes for another hour trying to find the river with a useless map and my sense of smell.

I got there in the end with only a couple of hours of light left.
Set my self up with a czech style leader with three nymphs , a Hydropsche, a Rycopilla and a GB sedge emerger and off I went.

Was it worth the hassle of the traffic, excuse the language but, dam right.
It was one of the most exciting Grayling sessions I have ever had.
All the fish caught wher of a cracking size nothing under 30cm. and plenty of them too.

Here is a picture of the only fish caught in a position where I could get a picture. Even then I had to hold it while it possed as I did not want to put the fish down on a concrete wall.
