I used to do it all , coarse on the local ponds , on the taff and ely , trout fishing on the river ogmore and ewenny in bridgend and loads of sea fishing around the vale of glamorgan from barry to ogmore

But a few years ago I snapped my ankle ligaments and the days of trudging nets , rods , weights and tackle across pontcanna fields or down the beach over rocks and stones at llantwit are over

So I have joined my local river angling club and from march to September will be back into trout fishing again , less tackle to carry , always on the move , all good , apart from no fishing in the winter months , which was often the best time on the taff for roach , chub , dace and pike and in the sea for congers , Rays, bass etc

I am not much of a fly fisherman so will be spinning for the larger , predatory trout which have been caught to six pound in the local stream
