Update 23rd October 2012
A strange day weather wise today at Chirk, heavy feel in the atmosphere with a mist periodically rising off the water, not great fishing conditions by any standard, but, Dr's Nick and Sarah from a Liverpool Hospital, sampling Chirk for the first time, practiced their casting skills before being let loose on the fish stock With many missed takes on dries and small lures, they imagined that there would be nothing for tea!!!! but perseverence paid off and both succeeded. Sarah with a Rainbow and Nick with a Brook Trout, well done to both, here are some pics.
Update 5th October 2012
With the River Dee nearly in the fields again today, James Mc Allister decided on a n outing at Chirk Fishery, he was not disappointed.
A nice Brook Trout on a size 22 nymph.
A fully tailed Rainbow on a size 22 Dry Shuttlecock.
Update 1st October 2012
Chirk fished well on Sunday the 30th September with the clients catching in the region of 20 fish between them, mainly on dry fly. Casting techniques enhanced and most of the regular clients of the Hardy Flyfishing School are really quite advanced which is a credit to their personal efforts. Here are some pictures:

The 'Hardy Flyfishing School Courses' run a Chirk fishery, is as much about enhancing actual fishing skills as it is about learning to cast, from absolute first timers, through intermediate and on to advanced ,double hauling 25 yards of line out, aye Trev, without a blemish in the loops both front and back by the end of the day and a few trout in the deal also, well done, through to catching 4lb trout on an emerger pattern, aye Chiara, Judith shared a number of my flies with the trout, hey ho !!. Steve Daley recently GAIC qualified instructor / coach worked relentlessly all day long moving from client to client, showing them how it was done and helping them acheive. Following the feast of a lunch, thanks 'Becky'.... all participants went fishing and a number of trout were caught, and more lost as the clients learnt the skills required. Some kept for the table, but, most returned to the water. Well done to all of them, here are a few pics from the day.
