Wales in June

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.

Hi Riverman,

The area you suggest is gorgeous. I would suggest you try and get some
lodgings in Brecon. This is a small town in the county of Powys. The
rivers you mention -the Wye and the Usk are really famous.

I have only fished the Wye once at a town called Builth a few miles
north of Brecon. My fishing at the moment is more or less at a
standstill. I shall make some enquiries about the prospect of fishing in
these waters.

To find Brecon on the map, find Cardiff and follow the A470 North. This
road ranges throughout Wales travelling from South to North Wales
passing Brecon and Builth.

I'll come back to you when I have some information.

Thanks, Bill. I look forward to hearing more from you. I also hope there's a
chance we can meet up and wet a line while I'm there. After my 5-day trip,
I'll be in Plymouth for another month, with weekends free.
