Sorry I couldn't make it this year. I did have a twinge and was about
to come up on Thursday and get back on Friday but I had to wait in for a
delivery all day and it didn't turn up:-(

Well done the rest of you all - I'll bet my name wasn't even mentioned :-(


awww, bechod mawr...


actually, we were half wondering if you might turn up...


anyway - report (such as it is) is now up at the url below. It was
only when I got home, that I realised that nobody had taken any photos
up at Brenig! I did try a couple of little movies, but my camera isn't
too good at that.

have a shufti at: http://xavier.bangor.ac.uk/dlane/gathering2006/

note to Firefox users - if you have downloaded one of the larger
photos, try clicking on it to get the magnifying glass (not always
there) - and then click on a spot in the photo to zoom in.... :+)

thanks to Reg, Andy and Alec for coming up and making for an enjoyable
weekend.

cheers all,

Dave

Excellent report Dave even if you have been somewhat gallant in not saying
too much on the number of curses and expletives from me turning the air a
little blue at times at Brenig! $ Jeez that breeze was awkward at times. I
don't think I've ever had so many tangles and never mind the sheep, Welsh
Water need to get some goats up there to eat down those bog grass tufts on
the bank!!

All in all though, a lovely long weekend. Weather was probably the best
we've had so far in terms of fishing conditions and the company of all was,
as always, so very enjoyable.

Regards,

Andy

er (or, ear), yes, well, ahem - ok, I hooked an ear fish. Ugly
looking customer, didn't put up that much of a fight. Unhooking was a
wee bit tricky, even though I press the barbs down on my flies. Yuk, I
should have chucked it back into the water. FOr those who are
interested, this specimen was caught on a Mallard & Claret which I will
never use again.
(sorry 'bout that Alec, I must say that you were quite restrained about
it, or is there just no feeling in that region?)

hmm, I wonder of the boss will mind me disapearing up there again this
weeknd..

cheers all

Reminds me of the standard question heard whenever a non angler turns up as
you're landing a fish...

"... did you catch that 'ere?"

Cheerio,

Nah! Us Southern softies can take more than that!
I can assure you, Sir, that it takes more than a Mallard & Claret to
put me down.
Now...........if it were a Whitlock Sculpin , Black and Red Matuka or a
Jersey Herd then it would be another kettle of fish!
Sort the fishing out for August - we shall return!!!!

I doubt if I'f have had a chance to fish thopugh but I really did think
of coming up on Thursday and og home Friday byt the non devlivery of a
parcel kept me in all day :-( I didn't know they were supposed to
deliver it on Thursday until I got a text message late Wednesday
evening. That put to mockers on any plans I had.

anyway - report (such as it is) is now up at the url below. It was
only when I got home, that I realised that nobody had taken any photos

Thanks for the lovely report, Llyn Idwal was calmer than when we tried
it two years go.
