i know people say you catch 3 eyed fish in the river tawe but giv it a try.

i went there last year and caught 16 mullet (by sainsbury's) in 1 session using bread and raw prawn on a normal freshwater float with small barbed hooks (the biggest fish weighed 4ld!!!!),

3 tidy sized bass (different session) by the carbon black same method as the mullet but using a single harbour ragworm on a size 4 barbed hook,

10 flatties on a running leger with a harbour ragworm

12 whiting (same method as the flatties)

and an eel (accidentely hooked)

iv enjoyed myself there many a time
