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.

For starters you can't do better than take a look at this web-site:

http://www.fishing-in-wales.com/index.htm

This is an excellent site dedicated to providing information to Visitors
to Wales.

Also for accommodation try Googling "Accommodation in Brecon, South
Wales"

There is a huge list of hotels guest houses, self catering cottages etc.

Bill: I was thinking of this guest house http://www.cammarch.co.uk in
Llangamarch Wells. No special reason, except that it seemed off the beaten
track, has comfportable accomodations, and offers access to 3 beats (8
pools) for 12 pounds per day. I think, as it participates in the Ulm and Usk
passport system, that I would have access to much more water if I stayed
there, but in truth I find it hard to understand the Welch system, so I'm
not sure. I was going to email them and ask.

Fine riverman, you'll know more about the area than I do when you have
the answers :-)

In the meantime I've picked up a couple of contact references:

Mr James Suter of the Gliffaes Hotel, I believe he can fix you up with
Usk fishing see:

http:/www.gliffaes.com

This is situated a bit east of Brecon with magnificent scenery all
round.

Second contact is for Wye fishing, see:

http://www.wyeuskfoundation.org.uk

This can provide fishing in the Builth area.

Incidentatally, Llangamarch Wells is fairly close to Builth - on the
south west approach to Builth. (The A 40 road)

Regards,

This, I think, is the place reffered to in "The Spawning Run". You
really should read it, Myron. You can get a copy cheap on bookfinder.

This place has just been refurbished, so is more expensive now than it
would have been a few years ago. Have had a good drink there several
times... Fishing within walking distance of the hotel is excellent.
Mainly trout in June. Grayling fishing is usually winter sport but
you'll get 'em in June as well.

You can get a train from Llangammarch Wells down the Towy valley to
Llandovery, Llangadog, Llandeilo... Lovely line... But the trains
aren't frequent..!

If you plan well, you can probably dispense with car hire for a few
days...
