Christmas can be a tough time. However, entertaining the family proved a worthy cause in the end. Bought Dad a new Greys wading jacket for Christmas... and he insisted that he be allowed opportunity to test out its suitability today. That means fishing... "Hooray" - "Sorry love"... and all that, "Dont want to let the old guy down... not at his time of life" - did the trick too
So... off to fish the little river Honddu - that most mercurial of streams. Not renowned for its grayling, but famed for its beauty and challenge. Started at the Monnow junction pool and worked up.
"Ooh... suits you sir!"
Great to see the old boy smile like this... he'll be 80 next month. Still, he sulked when I made him sit out the rest of the session for deliberately targetting the trout.
Plenty of fish obliged but this has to be my best Honddu grayling:
Came about 3:30pm to a little pink arsed number
The river looked fantastic today. Cant wait for March.
