Couldn't say what it was, but a few decent sized fish jumped not too far from me while I was on the estuary today, and I have seen some
pretty big sea bass in the Leri before now.

It's simple, tie a length of line to the back of your board with a spinner on - blat around for a few hours and come back with a tasty
sea trout in tow!
Seriously some mates of mine used to do that behind their windsurf boards in Australia tho it's gotta be fairly dodgy with all that
line and a nice treble hook to get caught up in.

I was chatting to a gut who was in a canoe in the middle of the channel fishing today.... Said he hadn't caught anything, but had been
told the Bass and sea trout can be quite good.... I did see a few biggish fish jump near me while I was again as well. Might have to
get a rod!

Such Keen Anglers
For interest.
I think Neil is refering to me as his source of reliable info (I never said it was reliable).
Fish to found in the estuary now are Bass (the best eating), Mullet (tend to hang around sewage outlets, can taste as much), sea trout
and salmon. The sea trout are running now, and I have heard very good current reports for most of the other Welsh rivers (upto 16lb).
They will run in large numbers on a high tide and fishing for them is best during the hours of darkness. Finding a good spot may not be
easy though. Spinning (with spoons or even better repala type lures)or fly fishing being the preferred methods.
Now for the serious bit, as I work for the EA Midlands I'm not up to full speed on all the Welsh Byelaws (they are very complicated) so
please seek further advice or log onto the page given below. If you were fishing the river you would need a rod licence (Salmon and Sea
Trout licence £63.75 available at your local PO pays my wages), fishing in the sea coastal waters is free although you may need
landowners permission.
From what I have found out the statement below is the limit for coastal fishing, fish further upstream than this without a licence and
you are likely to be nabbed procecuted and end up with a criminal record (harsh).
"A line drawn across the river Dyfi, from the point at Trefri to the south-western abutment of the railway bridge across the Tre'r-ddol
stream (river Clettwr)"
Tight Lines, don't forget check out the agency website.

While on the subject, what's the weaver fish status this summer ? We're in Aberdovey in a weeks time for our annual pilgrimage....

Been Fishin
Been fishing out of Borth today, no wind so borrowed Andy's rod and another kind chaps canoe.
All I caught were huge weaver fish, me being fishy I was stunned at the size of these weavers. I thought that they only grew to about
10-15cm the ones I caught were 30-40cm (nasty).
Oh they took spinners, so quite agressive.
I'm sure Peter Benchley could write a book about these devil fish.
