Fly Shop Welsh Hawks Take Gold

Fly Shop Welsh Hawks Take Gold At The Airflo Invitational

Last spring, we the Fly Shop Welsh Hawks were 2nd at the Airflo Spring Invitational, a great result but we really wanted gold.  We took that frustration out during the Autumn International match, picking up the trophy for the third time.

Change Take Silver at The Fly Shop Invitational

Fishing Season Opening Weekend on Llyn Trawsfynydd

On March 12th I get a phone call: "Drakeford's lifted restrictions on local outdoor activities, Traws will be open next weekend!", it's my good mate Llion Jones; a new angler who I've been teaching to Fly Fish for little over a year and someone who has quickly exceeded my addiction to the craft!  Llyn Trawsfynydd ('Traws' as many of us refer to it), is a 1,180 acre lake in Gwynedd, North Wales.
