How about a visit to Bhutan for the Annual Bash next year instead of
Brenig?

I'm sure that even Alec could catch a trout there???

Sorry Diamonds, I can't make it next year - I'm off to Bataan :-)

Only Kidding Alec :-)). I know you can catch when you are with me. We
proved it at Brenig In 2005.

Yah! What a team. It's a pity you had to team up with Mr Lawson this year
and show Dave and myself up. Still there's always next year if you're up
for it.


You had yer chances when we invited you to come and fish our swim (which was
full of fish) and you couldn't even catch then! Don't know what was up with
you guys but I reckon you both must've had a problem concentrating or
something ;o)


Start thinking about dates lads if you're interested., It may seem a long
way orf but I will be finding it harder to get dates for my time off next
year and any help as far as me booking hols will be most helpful. (Royal
Mail cutbacks - tell me about it:-(


I doubt I can make it next year because we're taking a (probably one off)
mega holiday and so nearly all my vacation time will be used up then. I'll
see closer to the time.

Cheers,
Alec
Oh and BTW the prog last night was pretty good but I think that the big
trout would have gone in the pot as well!

I watched it too and I agree, the bigy would've gone in the pot if it was
me. It was probably a cannibal or close to it at that size anyway.

BTW, what a fuss the guy made taking that gentle stroll up the slopes to
that lake. I mean.... he took a whole flipping mule train and had a path and
everything! He wants to try getting up to Ffynnon Lloer with Dave Lane! ;o)

yes, I was thinking about that trip, when I really thought for a
moment, that mouth-mouth might be needed but had decided that you were
brown bread, basically. lol, what price altitude sickness? The lake
they were fishing, I think that they said about 13,000 feet? That's
about 6 times the altitude of Ffynnon.. :+)

Well, Dave, I think I had better try Ffynnon . Brenig or no, I still
intend a few days in North Wales next year. I'll bring me own Oxygen :-)
As for the guy on the telly having mules if Andy had been there he would
have probably ended up eating them!

Hi All,

Last nights programme was even better, those Loch Leven Trout he
caught were just gorgeous. A pity about the state of Loch Leven now!!


Is it right that Cormorants have wiped out Loch Leven as a fiahery ?

Can't beat an early start.

Ah b*gger it. That's working with my American colleagues for you. They get
confused when we say "holidays" as that means 'Thanksgiving' or Christmas'
as far as they're concerned.

Hi Billboy,

How are you doing?

Long time no see.

Just have a look at this from Loch Leven -
http://lochlevenfisheries.co.uk/Press-Release-May06.pdf

It's all very sad!

I think that trout fishing as we know it is on the way out.

Younger people are just not taking it up as a sport.

Hope to see you next season Bill,

Reg (Diamonds)
