Thanks for you comments Heledd, we really enjoyed it – we’ve been promising ourselves that we’d give it a go as soon as the line opened all the way through Snowdonia.

Ahh this sound idyllic doesn’t it? -and so it is. You have probably just described the perfect day out for thousands of people. We live on the line- not literally of course- and still rush to the nearest window or run to the top of the garden in order to enjoy the image of
a) the train itself
b) relish the sense of excitement and anticipation that the lucky passengers would be experiencing.
And yes the carriages are themselves a work of art. You of course visited when the trees are a beautiful fresh green, or even still bare depending on the species.
Further on in the year you would find a different scene altogether with full bloom, blushing hedgerows and an abundance of various wildlife.
Then the truly spectacular Autumn glory, it just has to be seen to be believed.
The few winter trains that run-mainly ‘specials’ eg The Santa Train- little gifts,fresh mince pies and delicious hot toddies, are a delightfully nostalgic way to set off the festive season.
So glad you enjoyed-but then again, who wouldn’t?

Hi Kevin

I’m not sure what they’re feeding on as they sift mud – there’s an article in this months (and next months) Sea Angler though so have a read – I’m still hopeful that we’ll get one this year :)

I’ve been viewing huge mullet in the estuaries on the Isle Of Wight but am still perplexed by what fly to use and what retrieve? I note the comment for the red ribbed Diawal. I have used very small stillwater shrimp patterns but think they are too brown for the estuary waters. What are they naturally feeding on?

Great post on sea fishing hooks. It’s great to have a source for where to get hooks like Sakuma, Mustad etc. Nice series too. Thanks

Hi Joe

Thanks for visiting and you’re comments are spot on. We’re actually going to Anglesey in a couple of weeks, far to early for Mullet on the fly but we’ll be able to hunt out a few likely haunts while targeting Bass with peeler crab.

What flies have you had success on? I know down south they catch on red ribbed Diawl Bach so i was going to try those but any suggestions would be welcome.

We’ve yet to catch any saltwater fish on the fly but this year is going to be the one :)

Two years ago, mullet on the fly was my goal. Two years on, that proved to be a cathartic decision…fly-fishing for mullet is seriously addictive, and fly fishing for Bass has taken a firm second place! The potential for a double figure mullet (and the fight!) far outstrips that for a bass. Since my first fish, a 3lb thick-lip in a small estuary in South Wales 18 months ago, I’ve had numerous successes, with my best thus far running in at just over 6.5lb. The nice thing is I haven’t had to resort to bread flies but have had all on mainly shrimp-type patterns. I’ve also had Golden Grey mullet too, and a Thin-lip on the fly is only a matter of time, so the aim now is to achieve the ultimate challenge – the ‘Mullet Grandslam’ – all three species on the fly in a single day! :)

Good luck with your quest – once you get the measure of them, mullet will be a permanent resident on your target list; there are few more sporting opportunities in UK saltwater than mullet on the fly!

Hi Harry

Sounds like you’ve got the same sort of plan as I have. We’ll just have to wait for the weather to warm up a bit before we can set things in motion.
