Default Wales in June

(OK, I put this into the 'snowballs chance in hell' category...)

I have an open week in midJune before I need to be in Plymouth, England for
grad school. I've made some reservations to get myself into south-central
Wales from June 15-20, as there are apparently quite a few very nice
trout/greyling/salmon streams there, amongst the headwaters and tributaries
of the Why and Usk rivers. I'm planning on renting a car and a small suite
at a B&B in a small Welsh (Welch?) town that has a pub, some interesting
local culture, some good food, some scenery, and some trout streams.

If anyone has a week off, needs/wants to be on this side of the pond, and
wants to do some exploring of the region and do some flyfishing,
Wales-style, get in touch. It would be fun to have the company.

Before you go you *must* read "The Spawning Run" by William Humphrey,
about an american visitor to a fishing hotel in these parts. I think
it's the best piece of fiction ever written about fishing, with the
possible exception of "Moby Dick".

I hope we can meet at some stage .

it's Welsh, and grayling (for any fans of Inspector Morse, there's a
pathologist called after the fish.)

I'm not sure but I think grayling may be out of season then? But
sea-trout "sewin" in wales, and salmon are not. They also taste much
better.
