micky 3,325 Posted April 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I started my Fishing career today and it did not go to well , to start with I could not get the line through the Eye of the Hook and whilst I was messing with this all my Maggots Effed off the next the thing was I could not fix the Lead shot onto the string so I tied the hole Boxful to the string , when I was up and running I kept trying to put Maggots on the hook but they kept exploding like little Spunk Bombs ,then when I cast my line in and sat down to Whittle some Snare pegs while waiting for a two pounder the Dog who was fed up took one of the Pegs and chewed it up 3 Quote Link to post

I cannot hold a Rod because of something called Dupuytrens that has been made worse with over 50 years laying bricks, no big deal just a nuisance at times Quote Link to post
darrren 414 Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 I went out with the handline yesterday. Fish taking fly off the surfaces like no man's business. Do you think I could get a bite on worn or maggot? No bloody chance. Getting a bubble float today and taking my box of flys. Don't trout fish alot really but would yo u agree if flys are in abundance then they won't take a worm? Also had lots of rain and the water was hard with a lot of weed being washed down.

I would spin for them when the rivers like that....little mepps and worm on the trebles Quote Link to post
darrren 414 Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Here's a few I've had over the last week, small ones have gone back and kept two fish from different occasions. If they're there they do hit the spinner quickly In fairness, normbally where the water goes deep and slack. I am thinking of trying a bubble float with a fly or worm on it and letting it drift as much luck as I've had on the spinners there are still shallow clear waters where they are only taking flys. People are telling me off bags of 40 odd out of llandegfed res but I went there last year on the worm and not a bite, but apparently it has to. E suspended off the bottom which I did t do. 1 Quote Link to post
darrren 414 Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 When you say a team how is that ties. I'm guessing it's more than one fly on the line. I'll give that a go then. On rivers just upstream isit let it drift down. Quote Link to post
Daniel cain 45,275 Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 if using worms for trout ....then get a small hypodermic needle and fill worm with some air....that will pop it up off the bottom and get you some bites darren Quote Link to post
