place it is.below is pictured the caban coch dam the last
in the chain of dams which provide water for south wales
and birmingham as well.
Had a nice lunch in the visitor centre before having a
couple of hours fishing whilst my wife read her mags
in the car.I purchased my ticket from the shop in the
visitor centre for the princly sum of £6 valid for the
river elan plus the claerwen reservoir .Decided to stick
with the elan river as my 4# might struggle on the ressie.
As you can see the river looked quite trouty and i soon
spotted one or two little trout rising usually behind some
rock or two.
The conditions were quite hard as the wind was gusting
downstream leaving me with no alternative but to
creep along and try a downstream cast without giving
myself away and struggling with the line trying to pay
it out so as not to drag the fly back.caught a few using
this method before spotting a red kite above me vying
from one side of the river to the other ,what a truly special
sight even though around here they are prolific and there is
even a place to visit where they feed wild red kites.
I will return to this area as i found it breath takingly
beautiful even though the fishing was hard the
surroundings more than made up for that.
