A fishing related question!

Can't remember the last time I had a good days float fishing on a river
(especially now the winter is here).
I have to follow the crowds to the commercials (with pole) to get a good
day in :-(

Nidd.

Float fishing rivers is tremendous fun, and done skilfully will often
out-fish other methods. I used to fish the Severn a bit around
Ironbridge, and while the days when I caught the most fish were usually
on the feeder, the most enjoyable fishing was long trotting a wire
stemmed avon in a fast, shallow swim.

Well.... I was in Cardiff last week and fished the River Taff at Radyr. Only
fished for just over two hours in the afternoon with a friend and we had 30
plus Grayling between us. All on the float with some cracking fast bites. I
missed loads! I'm just so out of practice.

Now that's interesting... I was in Cardiff a month or two back for a
wedding, and was looking at the river with interest. I love grayling
fishing, although the only place I've fished for them is Taunton. Any
info on tickets, location, etc greatly appreciated!

Gary Evans tackle shop, Whitchurch Road, Cardiff have day tickets @£4.00 per
day.

Have a chat with them in the shop and they'll tell you where to fish
depending on whether you want Grayling, Chub or Barbel

Brilliant, thanks Andy. I fancied a few trips to Taunton for grayling
after Xmas, but Cardiff is nearer.
