Day 2 on the Dee and day 1 of the course. We fished the golf course section of the Maelor club water, as last year but it was a totally different river from then.

I am down in Llangollen for the weekend to fish the Dee with John Emerson and Hywel Morgan and had a cheeky wee session with Hywel and John pre official course. The weather was brilliant for the time of year, sunny all day and quite fresh, but very very pleasant for a day on the river.

Went up to the River Devon on Saturday for a few hours, as much to get a bit of a cast and a walk at the same time. Had not been out all week with the Manflu being prevalent in my space!

Did giants live here? Only one way to find out.
