Hi Dave,

Well I'm living just outside Chester now so Brenig is almost on the
doorstep. I know my brother has been asking me to take him out on a boat so
I suppose I should get around to it.

I fished Tree Tops (nr Wrexham) this week for the first time (and the first
time trout fishing for nearly a year). Not really my kind of fishery but
took one for the pot. Having moved away from Devon, I miss fishing the West
Dart up on the moors so am hoping to find something similar in N.Wales to
fill that gap.

Cheers

Sam

Hi Bill,

Good to hear from you. Daughters name is Emily and she is now 11 years
old!!
AND she still has the doll you sent when she was born.

She has started fly fishing but has yet to catch a trout (although she has
several decent carp to her name!)

I will see if I can get some pictures up.

Hope you are keeping well.

Sam

p.s.

I think I may have emailed this to you as well by mistake so apologies for
the duplication!

Hi All,

Can't believe that was way back in 97/98?. I seem to remember it being
wet (and windy), losing my hat, getting my line wrapped around the
prop,
the engine cutting out and then the rip cord snapping and having to row
back in (and back out again for Alec's hat) and catching sod all... but
hey it was fun (wasn't it?)

Sorry I haven't been around for what seems like ages but life has a
habit
of getting in the way! Not done much trout fishing over the last few
years, come to think of it I haven't done much fishing at all.

Sarah and I managed a few hours at Mickle Trafford (Cheshire) but drew
a
blank...still the pub meal afterwards was worth it.

Hope anyone that remembers me is keeping well.

Regards

Sam

Hi Sam, Yes indeed I do remember you - vividly. I regret I've forgotten
your daughter's name - she was only a baby back in those days.

That Saturday, the rain was so bad that Phil Jones and I beached and
took
shelter in a bird watching hide !

I do little or no fishing these days - things change, and I seem to have
lost the urge to kill fish now.

Best wishes,

Bill

I wuz there..... and yes, I remember the sleet coming down....some
bloke motoring by, muttering "There's olives hatching over there", me
thinking "I don't give a f*%&^&*" - what passes for a summer in S
Wales...

We've had several meets up at Llyn Brenig since then, some fine
times. Hope that all's well for you & yours...

cheers

Dave
