Saturday April 19th, 2008. Rushed back from Belgium to pick up a collection of shooting books from Brighton, arriving in the middle of the night. Then one day at home before we headed for Ellesmere to hand over the manuscript of the revised Hampton Bibliography to the third beard of the Three Beards Press. On Saturday we travelled up to Ardudwy to collect books. While there I bought a season permit to fish the hill lakes that Gallichan frequented, so I'll have to go back. I used that as an excuse to drive up to the lovely Llyn Bodlyn. Not quite so lovely today in the cold east wind.
Bodlyn has the most southerly population of char in Britain. I had not heard of any being caught since the days of out-of-season poaching with maggots, over thirty years ago. A recent survey has discovered that they are still there, despite global warming. Where can I get some maggots?
