Lo gents (and ladies)

Nearly there! How's the 10 day forecast looking for opening day where you plan to fish on opening day? Of course I don't put much stock in the accuracy of 10 day forecasts, but mine's looking good at the moment for the Ewenny (Bridgend): Sunny the day before, and then light rain and high of 7. PERFECT olive weather.

Bring it on - less than 10 days now!

This may help:

Long term forecast for Cardiff in Wales (United Kingdom) ? yr.no

Normally find this Norwegian site to be very accurate!

Cheers

Soon be here guys.

I've been out all over the winter for the Grayling - cold last weekend but I got out anyway; the week before was milder and some little dark upwinged flies were hatching (won't try and name them) and surface takes were starting - all it will take is a bit of sunshine and game on.

In Wales, as in the West of Scotland, six hours is a long range forecast - ten days is a lottery.

My view is just keep an eye on the weather and the river and if it looks fishable - go fish it.

Agreed. The forecast will likely change dramatically between now and opening day. I'm just excited that I can once again get a forecast for a day I plan to go fishing for trout.

I guess my post was as much to highlight the proximity of trout season as to hear where people might be fishing opening day.

Don't get me wrong, I love chasing the silver ladies, but mademoiselle trutta just has that irresistible je ne sais quois....
