The River Dovey
The Dovey is a nice stream, but runs off very soon, like all others
descending from the mountains. The salmon would be, nevertheless, very
plentiful in it, as there are many capital large pools for them to
haunt, if they were allowed to reach them. It is so very much netted at
its mouth that it cannot be possible for fly fishing to be good. The
neighbourhood of Machynlleth is the best place to fly fish it. In the
spring and autumn the salmon flies in the plates will be found admirable
for it, made on CC hooks, and C for low water. The furnace and black-red
hackles are excellent local flies, made on C hooks, for summer. Sewen
take small duns, and the Cochybonddu.
