Garnfrwdd Sunday 7th April 2013

Visited Garnfrwdd again today and when we arrived it looked like it was going to be a good day. We had all agreed that today was gona be a pleasure day and not fish our league. the morning was good nice weather a little breeze and fish were coming to the net. I told myself last night that I was gona try different methods as im feed up of pulling lures although I love lure fishing it has started to become a little boring and I need to perfect my skills in the different methods. After looking at the Garnfrwdd facebook page the other night (checking out a photo of a big brown that was caught) I looked at the fishery reports and I could see that people have been having some good top of the water action, and the olives have sarted to hatch. So my next mission was to tie some olive dry flies so I looked on google and the blogs that i follow i found a few patterns I like but the one I liked was form terry (taffdiaries.wordpress.com) it was actually an olive cdc emerger pattern so I knocked a few up ready for our trip today and low and behold the little buggers caught a few fish today. Me Dai Alan and sprog managed to land over 50 fish between us today don't really know the exact number but we all had a good day. There was also a monster rainbow landed today if I had to guess how heavy it was I would say around 17/18lb and I think that is a garnfrwdd rainbow record. It goes to show how healthy the lake is supporting all these big fish. I think I had around 14/15 fish today and they were spread out all over the lake some on buzzers some on dries and some on the nymphs and I caught on maybe two on the lure. I know I know I did say that I was gona try and not use lues today but I couldn't help myself. Here are the patterns that caught.
