So, on Wednesday I went fishing for the first time - and I loved it! Who would have thought?! It's always been a wish of mine to do it but for whatever reason just never got round to having a go. Until now. I had been going on about it for ages and possibly having worn him down, Mat decided to take me. He hadn't been for 20+ years himself so I think secretly he was quite looking forward to it too.
We ended up at a wonderful place called Yet-y-Gors where the owners Darren and Hannah and their team could not have been more welcoming. With fishing licences in hand, maggots (!!) hired rods and nets and a sense of what the hell is this all about, I cast for the day in the beautiful lakes...
And ended up catching a small perch (my very first fish caught!) tench, rudd, roach and quite a large bream! As you can see from the photo below my bream was definitely bigger although in terms of numbers caught Mat beat me by catching 18 fish to my 13. Who knew he could be so fishing competitive?!
Anyway, I need to hone my technique but I have to say, for a first timer I thought I did pretty well. I apologise now in advance with tales of here's one I caught earlier...
