0:00:25 > 0:00:28- It's been going - since the very beginning...
0:00:28 > 0:00:30- ..but it's improving.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33- It's an hour long every week now.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- I'm also joined - by a host of young faces.
0:00:36 > 0:00:42- Their hearts are in the countryside - to bring you the very best.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Meleri Garn Fach milks every day...
0:00:46 > 0:00:50- ..but today, - she's been lured by young fly tyers.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52- It's difficult. Like that?
0:00:55 > 0:00:59- Like me, the team's youngest member - has been raised in the city...
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- ..but he wants to learn - the rural ways.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- I won't take the sheath off - in case I make a mess.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- Ioan Doyle is used - to a shepherd's life...
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- ..but he wants to learn new tricks.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- With this hand, you show him love - when he's a good boy.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22- And how the scars of losing a home - are never far from the surface.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- They call it progress.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- I don't believe it's progress, - but that's what they call it.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- Yes, I'm focusing on the countryside - as a playground...
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- ..in Montgomeryshire.
0:01:41 > 0:01:47- The sun's shining, and I have - an interesting subject tonight.
0:01:48 > 0:01:54- His interests extend - to everything to do with rural life.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00- He spends most of his time - with the fish...
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- ..but his interest is shooting.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- His name is Gareth Dixon.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- As I said, - he's a very interesting chap.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- Clywedog reservoir near Llanidloes - is quite a lake.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- It covers over 600 acres.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Since the valley - was drowned in 1967...
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- ..it now attracts anglers - from far and wide.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- It's run by Llanidloes angling club.
0:02:30 > 0:02:36- In charge of the lake, and of me, - is Gareth Dixon from Penegoes.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- I'm the head ranger at Clywedog.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- I've been here three years now.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- I used to do it after work, - but I'm full-time here now.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49- I love it here.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- There are thousands of fish - in the lake, aren't there?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- We stock it - with almost 30,000 annually.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- Do you really?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- That clearly involves an outlay.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Yes, a substantial outlay.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- The cost of fish food alone - is over 1,000 a tonne.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- How many work here - either full-time or part-time?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- I'm full-time, - and five others work part-time.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- We have someone in the office - and someone on the lake all day.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25- Today, Gareth has organized - an angling competition.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Two anglers per boat...
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- ..and the first boat back - with the heaviest 12 fish wins.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37- Among the competitors is Llanidloes - club treasurer Kevin Scourfield.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- This looks impressive, if I may say. - How many competitors are there?
0:03:43 > 0:03:48- I think there are 21 boats out, - two in every boat.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53- We have some from South, - Mid and North Wales.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- We attract anglers - from all over Wales, to be honest.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- We've met before, - but the name escapes me.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Up in Trawsfynydd?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- Yes, my name is Enid Edwards.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06- And where are you from?
0:04:06 > 0:04:07- And where are you from?- - Penrhyndeudraeth.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09- You're with the Welsh Ladies team.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- You're with the Welsh Ladies team.- - I've been fishing for 21 years.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14- Really?
0:04:14 > 0:04:19- They tell me - that this is a 600-acre lake.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20- It's a huge place.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- It's about five miles long, I think.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24- Is it?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- And it's pretty deep, - deeper than other lakes.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28- Don't say that.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30- I'm going out on it now.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- OK then, everybody ready?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- There's a twelve-fish limit.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Twelve fish in the boat, - and back in here.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- The gun is fired, and off they go, - fishing in the rain.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- They whip those rods, don't they?
0:04:55 > 0:05:00- Everyone here's fly fishing, - with lots of different flies.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Some are going for big fish, - some have big flies as bait too.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- That doesn't always work.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- They hire a boat for the day, get - a ticket to fish and off they go.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- You can see the appeal - of the tranquillity...
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- ..although there's a breeze today.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- I like the competitive element too.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- They come from near and far.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- Yes, everyone supports us.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- It's the best club in Wales...
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- ..and it has been voted - the best lake in Wales.
0:05:42 > 0:05:48- There used to be a famous flock - of Welsh sheep in this area.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- A lot of land - was lost to the reservoir.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57- A lot of farms were lost.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- These small bays - are all named after the farms.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- We're in Eblid here now, - which is where that farm was.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- I remember buying sheep - from Aber Biga.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11- Aber Biga's up that way.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- We call it the Biga Arm.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23- Fifty years ago, Clywedog - was a community of farms...
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- ..and I remember them well.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- But to this day, - some can't forget...
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- ..the pain caused - by drowning the valley.
0:06:34 > 0:06:40- Former FUW chairman Gareth Vaughan - remembers every detail.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45- This is Pen-y-rhynau, where my - mother and grandmother were born.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50- I don't know how many generations - my family was here.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55- It's a strange feeling, - coming back here...
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- ..and seeing the destruction - that has taken place.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04- I remember my grandmother kept it - as if it was the garden of Eden...
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- ..even though she walked - with a limp all her life.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- She had a fine orchard.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15- As children, we'd help ourselves - to apples, pears and cherries.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Across the valley - was a farm called Eblid.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Up that way - was Gronwen and Aber Biga.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- They were Welsh-speaking families.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- There were seven children - at Aber Biga...
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- ..four girls at Gronwen - and one son at Eblid.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- And now, what do we have?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- A playground for townspeople.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- That hurts me.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- The main reason - for creating the reservoir...
0:07:50 > 0:07:56- ..was the major floods - that affected the River Severn...
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- ..in the late 1950s - and the early 1960s.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- It was funded - by the Birmingham Corporation.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- When the drowning - was first mentioned...
0:08:07 > 0:08:08- ..people were split.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- Some felt that we were too willing - to compromise and give in...
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- Others saw it pointless to fight...
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- ..the might - of the Birmingham Corporation.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- It even happened within our family.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28- Mam was opposed to the drowning, - and Dad felt we hadn't much choice.
0:08:33 > 0:08:39- Birmingham had come in - and shown their might very early on.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46- They ignored the feelings - of local people, in my opinion.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- I remember once, my father and I - were bringing in the harvest.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- My father was on the load, - me loading with the pitchfork.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- One of the Birmingham men - came into the field.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- He said that they'd be erecting - a fence in the coming days...
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- ..to shut out our animals...
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- ..from their land, as he put it.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- I saw red and walked towards him, - pitchfork in hand.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- I told him that it'd be no bad thing - if we were to see some money first.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- He realized what he had done - and took a step back.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- "I'll see what I can do, - I'll see what I can do."
0:09:26 > 0:09:31- But that was the prevalent attitude, - and that did anger a lot of people.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39- I don't think it has done much good - for the local area.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- Maybe it alleviated - the floods a little.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- But you must realize, - it tore the community apart.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54- It even came between my own parents.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- The feelings are mixed, - even 50 years later.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- They call it progress.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09- I don't believe it's progress, - but that's what they call it.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- An old story - that's still fresh today.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- Back to today, and the angling - competition on Clywedog.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- It's now one of the best - fishing lakes in Wales.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- How's it going, ladies?
0:10:29 > 0:10:30- We haven't caught anything yet.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31- We haven't caught anything yet.- - Nothing yet?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- You look very sedate - with your chairs.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37- They're very convenient.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- But not after eight hours.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Where's the nearest toilet? Newtown?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- It runs so smoothly on the lake.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51- It runs so smoothly on the lake.- - Yes, this is some boat.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- It's wheelchair accessible.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- They're wheeled on - via a hydraulic platform...
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- ..then the floor drops - to keep the wheelchair stable.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- That allows anyone - to come fishing here.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- We're lucky to have it.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- How's it going, Kev?
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- Not bad. It's not easy, - but there are fish about.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- The problem is finding out - what bait they want!
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- That's why they call it angling, - not catching.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Some competitors - get better luck than others.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Less than two hours after starting, - the first boat is back...
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- ..having caught their twelve fish.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- The first pair are back.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36- That wasn't long.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- That wasn't long.- - An hour and a half for twelve fish.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- Well done, boys.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- They're a good size too.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- I hope they counted correctly.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Is there any particular weight?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- I'm looking for the biggest one now.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- This is three pounds, four ounces.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- Do they take them home?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Yes, to do as they like with them.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- They'll be having chips - for a fortnight.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- That looks like a lot of fish to me.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- A total of 25 pounds, seven ounces.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19- Soon, the crews - have either filled their bags...
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- ..or had enough of the rain.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Ffion, Gareth's wife, - and his children...
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- ..have fired up the barbecue!
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Hallelujah!
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Well, it's busy here, - and it smells good.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35- You're busy, Ffion.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- A barbecue - after the fun on the water.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- They'll need hot food, - given the nasty weather.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- You have two daughters.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51- Hanna is nine and Lisa is six.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- The children love coming up here.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- You have much more fun - in an area you know well.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Well, Kevin, - the level of the lake has gone down.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- You must have caught all the fish.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- I don't think I changed it a lot.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14- How many have you got?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- How many have you got?- - Only four, Dai. Only four.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Were they scarce?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- No, just one of those days.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- Seven pounds, one ounce.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- Only four fish.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- There's no need to rub it in!
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- You did beat the Almighty.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- He had five loaves and two fish, - and you've got four fish.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- We're ahead on the fish, - but I'm not sure about the bread.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- We'll try the barbecue - to find bread.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Five fish. Eight pounds, 13 ounces.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Where's the partner? Is she back?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Yes, she's packing the car.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57- We're both so wet!
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- That's fishing for you.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- It beats housework!
0:14:03 > 0:14:04- An awful day.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- I broke a rod, first of all.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07- In your temper?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- No, it broke while casting.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- It was nice to see you again.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- You're smiling despite everything.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- You're smiling despite everything.- - That's what we enjoy. Fishing.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25- A wet day but a good one, - especially for the champions.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- In first place, the first boat in, - Carl Williams and Llion Francis.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35- Here you are, boys.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37- Many congratulations.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- I could have gone home and had a nap - since you came back in.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- Congratulations.
0:14:47 > 0:14:47- .
0:14:53 > 0:14:53- Subtitles
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Still to come, Meleri Garn Fach - leaves the milking...
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- ..and is lured by the fly tyers.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- The tongue comes out - when I concentrate.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25- Running a fishery such as the one - at Clywedog isn't an easy task.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- Every year, - it's stocked with 35,000 trout...
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- ..and it takes 40 tonnes - of fish food to feed them.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38- It's a big responsibility - for Gareth Dixon.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Thousands of young fish - come here by tanker every year...
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- ..and are transferred - to the rearing cages.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- Everything comes here first, - to cage number one.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54- As they grow, - they're moved up according to size.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- There's no danger - that they'll get out into the lake?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- No, there are two nets.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- How big are they when they arrive?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- How big are they when they arrive?- - They're small, six months old.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- They're very small.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- There we are, we're here.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- This is the start of the journey.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- All the fish are in here now, - 58,000 of them.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- They're with us on the site here - for about 18 months.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- And you tip food into the water?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- We feed by hand. - They all get more that way.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- As with any farmer, - you must stop the big ones...
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- ..from eating the food - of the small ones.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46- The big ones are continuously moved - to bring on the smaller ones.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- We use a tonne a week at the moment, - and it's over 1,000 a tonne.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- A thousand fish a week - go into the lake...
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- ..so we need the same amount - growing in the cages.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- Where does the money come from - to sustain this place?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Do you get grants - or is it down to the club?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- The club does it all.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- The club pays for everything.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- We sell tickets to fish here.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- The more who fish, - the more fish go in next year.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- One of the major tasks - facing Gareth and Russell Owen...
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- ..is sorting the trout - according to size.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- This conveyor belt widens - as it goes forward.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- It measures the backs of the fish.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- They drop out at different points.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44- The biggest ones go to the end.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- The biggest ones go to the end.- - Like sorting potatoes!
0:17:47 > 0:17:52- The medium ones are here, - and the small ones are back there.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53- How tough are they?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- How tough are they?- - They go through this almost monthly.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- You can't be too rough with them.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59- You can't be too rough with them.- - No.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- A wide back like you and me - and they go right to the end.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- I did think at one point - that we'd need a bigger hole.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- It's just the same as farming.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- The best fish are taken out, - the smaller ones are left to grow.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- The best fish always leave the cage.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24- Now then, Dai.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25- Now then, Dai.- - What have you got there?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- These fish are examples - from each different cage.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- Do you see the blue type?
0:18:31 > 0:18:32- The blue type?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- The blue type?- - That's the blue type.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35- This is a brown trout.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- You're glad to see them in rivers.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- What do the different colours mean?
0:18:43 > 0:18:44- Does the taste vary?
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- They say that the blue ones - put up a better fight.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- We've tried them this year, - and all the anglers like them.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- We'll have more next year.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Over 40,000 - will go into the lake next year.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- We mix up the different fish, - so they don't all go in together.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- They'll go through the system - all year long.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10- When you see the anglers - sitting and fishing quietly...
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- ..all this made that possible.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- It all happened a year before that.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- We're a year ahead on the farm - of what goes into the lake.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- The business has to work ahead...
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- ..because the anglers - are gearing up for a new season.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- As Meleri Garn Fach discovered...
0:19:30 > 0:19:35- ..anglers start early - at a leading fly tying club.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- They're colourful, - and there are hundreds of types.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Where better than Bala - to learn about fly tying?
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- A group of youngsters - meet here every Wednesday.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04- Do you enjoy it?
0:20:04 > 0:20:05- Do you enjoy it?- - Yes.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- What's the best part?
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- Talking to Guto and tying flies.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14- Why do you come here?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- I want to improve my fly tying - to catch more fish in summer.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- It's a competition between friends.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Who can tie the best flies.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- The best fly - catches the biggest fish.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- And who ties the best flies usually?
0:20:33 > 0:20:34- And who ties the best flies usually?- - Me!
0:20:37 > 0:20:38- How are you, Ilan?
0:20:39 > 0:20:40- What's happening?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- We're teaching the youngsters - how to tie flies.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49- We create small flies out of natural - and synthetic material...
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- ..to catch different fish.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- We tie a different fly every week.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Then in summer, - we teach them how to catch fish.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- I take it that fly fishing - isn't like other forms of fishing.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- What are the main differences?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- The actual fly itself.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- With sea fishing, say, - they use quite big lures.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16- The flies imitate small insects, - and are much smaller.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- It's the same with the rod.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24- The rod is much more flexible - and light than a sea fishing rod.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- How long have you been - on the Wales team?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- This is my first year.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- I've been lucky to make the team.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41- How many have you done? - Guto is the winner with ten.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43- And they're tidy.
0:21:45 > 0:21:51- It amazes me to see so many here - and not at home in front of the TV.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- I'd like a go myself.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- I'd like a go myself.- - I'll gladly give you a lesson.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- The first step - is to put the hook in the vice.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- Then wrap that around it.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- It's difficult. Like that?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- Pinch it once or twice.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- The tongue comes out - when I concentrate.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- Tie that in as well.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- This takes a bit of time.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- How long would it usually take?
0:22:37 > 0:22:41- A single fly can vary - from three minutes...
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- ..up to eight or nine hours - for the ones you frame.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Are these nine-hour jobs?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Are these nine-hour jobs?- - I hope not.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- Wire to hold everything together.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Cut the thread off at the end.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- That's very good.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04- Fishing then!
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Watch out, fish!
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- Back on the lake, - there's no end to the work.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20- After sorting the trout, - Gareth Dixon and the team...
0:23:20 > 0:23:25- ..transfer the biggest ones from - the rearing cage to the stock tank.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- We'll stock the lake now, Dai.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38- As you can see, the fish - are being drawn towards us.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- We'll move 500 now - from here to the tank.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- There are 8,000 fish in there.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- They'll be on someone's plate - by tomorrow night!
0:23:53 > 0:23:58- They go from the cage - into this tub, then into the lake.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- This is just like - an old sheep dip tub.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03- That's what it is.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04- That's what it is.- - Is it?
0:24:10 > 0:24:16- Off we go on the purpose-built boat - to take the trout to their new home.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- They're in the lake now, - ready to be caught.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- It's a process from start to finish.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27- It's a process from start to finish.- - Yes, a very long process.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- It's the end of the road - for these fish.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- I heard from the boys last night...
0:24:33 > 0:24:38- ..that it was your grandmother - who got you interested in fishing.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Yes, Nain started all this.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- It passed down through Dad...
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- ..and I hope our children - will start as well.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- Excellent, I hope they do.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- You show a lot of love - for your work here.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- The door's open and they're all out.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57- The water has gone.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- I'm holding tight in case I go in!
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- The hole's not big enough - for you, Dai!
0:25:05 > 0:25:05- .
0:25:11 > 0:25:11- Subtitles
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:25:22 > 0:25:27- Still to come, Ioan Doyle - falls for man's best friends...
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- ..and learns some new tricks.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- You need brakes and steering.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- I'll show you - how we get them to work.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44- In his day job, Gareth Dixon - looks after the fishery at Clywedog.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50- But when the fishing season closes, - he turns to a less placid activity.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- The pheasant shooting season - opens in November.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Every other weekend, - Gareth organizes hunts...
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- ..on the banks of the River Dyfi.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- You go down and take Glen with you, - to go one spot down.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- They do it every week and they - still go to the bloody wrong places.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- How many shoots - will you do in a year?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- I pick up from the other shoot.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- We'll do eight or nine here - every other Saturday.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Shoots have become popular now.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34- Yes, they have.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38- But we're a very small shoot - compared to some of them.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- It's a lot of fun, - and these are all local lads.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- I hope that the children - and the beaters will do a good job.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47- Here they come now.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51- That one was a bit low.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- What's the dog called again?
0:26:59 > 0:27:00- Tinkerbell.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- That's the problem - with having children!
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- I don't like it, - so I call her Tink.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14- Once again, when Gareth's at work, - the family's there supporting him.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19- Ffion, Lisa and Hanna - stir the pheasants into flight.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- There's a following wind, - and the wind can turn them.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- And make them fly too quickly!
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- The wind's behind them now.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- If I was up there, - I'd go quickly too!
0:27:34 > 0:27:35- It'd need a fair wind!
0:27:38 > 0:27:39- Here we are.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43- Good job.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44- Good job.- - Sit.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47- The black dog's fetching it.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- Oddly enough, - guns don't interest me at all.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54- But I like eating pheasants.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55- Shoot it!
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- It's a good job I had two shots.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20- That's for your supper.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23- We'll watch you pluck it.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25- I've plucked a few in my time.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28- That's the first drive over.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35- The owner of the farm, Mark Hughes, - also prepares the pheasants.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- It went well this morning.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39- Not bad.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44- When they're down here, the birds - see too much of what's going on...
0:28:44 > 0:28:46- ..before we're ready.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48- The wind wasn't favourable.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51- It caught them - as they came out of the trees.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- A little wind usually helps, - just to pick them up.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- When it's too quiet, - it's not as good.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- Between the fish and the pheasants, - you're a busy man.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06- And there are ducks too.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08- Yes, ducks, which is nice.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11- The fishing ends - and the shooting starts.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- Any work on the house - has to be done in February!
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- At lunchtime, - there's a chance for a chat.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- Alright, Dai? Have some sloe gin.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- I like something to warm me up.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36- Yes, socializing is an important - element of a day's shooting.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40- Amid all the hubbub - is Gareth's mother, Mrs Beryl Dixon.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- Well, Mrs Dixon, your son - has a very interesting job.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47- Was he like this as a boy?
0:29:47 > 0:29:50- He didn't like school, Dai.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51- The girls are like him.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54- They enjoy being outdoors.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55- They enjoy being outdoors.- - They do indeed.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- My husband's mother loved fishing
0:29:58 > 0:30:02- They went to her from school, - then straight down to the river.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04- Did they? That's interesting.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- She caught a few big salmon - on the Dyfi.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- These things are in the blood, - as is the art of breeding gun dogs.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19- Experienced shepherd Ioan Doyle...
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- ..went to learn more about the art - of preparing dogs for the task.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- As a shepherd, I know the importance - of having a good dog.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37- Behind every good dog is a trainer.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41- I've come to meet Alan Rees - from Dre-fach, near Llanelli.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- He's a world champion - and Welsh team captain.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47- Lincoln, come here. - No playing. Good boy.
0:30:49 > 0:30:50- How are you, Alan?
0:30:50 > 0:30:51- How are you, Alan?- - Hello. Welcome.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54- You're a world champion - with gun dogs.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- I've been lucky enough - to hold the title three times.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01- I have Labradors, - non-slip retrievers.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05- Gun dogs can be spaniels - or hunt point retrievers.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07- But I've always loved this breed.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11- What makes a good gun dog?
0:31:11 > 0:31:17- I like to keep a dog - with a similar bloodline.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20- The success we've had...
0:31:20 > 0:31:25- ..has come down the generations - and through the pedigree.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- Is it in the dog's nature - or is it the trainer?
0:31:29 > 0:31:33- For me, the nature of the dog - is more important than the trainer.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- In Wales, you can't train a dog - just on game, you need dummies.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42- Every time you train them, - you must keep their minds sharp...
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- ..so that they want to work for you.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52- I like being in a dog's socks.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- That means I have a relationship - with the dog.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- We're a team, and whatever we face, - we face it together.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03- My grandfather worked sheepdogs.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- He always said - not to mollycoddle dogs...
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- ..or they won't work for you.
0:32:08 > 0:32:09- Is that true for you?
0:32:09 > 0:32:10- Is that true for you?- - No, not for me.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- The dogs are like my children, - to be honest, and that's important.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17- Good lad.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20- This is a way of life for you.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21- It's like farming.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26- At seven in the morning, we're out, - and the same every evening.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28- You've been lucky today.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- We did all the kennels - before you got here.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- It all builds towards - what we want out of the dog.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37- To compete at the level I do...
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- ..takes a lot of work.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- It would be nice to see him work.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43- He's a young dog, 20 months old.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45- Let's see how he goes.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- What's the first thing - you teach a dog?
0:32:50 > 0:32:54- He has to walk to heel - and be steady to shot.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- Step one - is for him to walk like this...
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- ..and I want him - to react to me immediately.
0:33:00 > 0:33:06- If someone's taking a shot - to the left, I'll say mark...
0:33:06 > 0:33:09- ..or over to the right, - I'll say mark.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- Here's another important point - while handling a young dog.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- Use this hand to show him love - when he's a good boy.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20- Lincoln, sit.
0:33:20 > 0:33:25- But use this hand - when you want him to listen.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26- Being firm...
0:33:26 > 0:33:28- Being firm...- - Being firm with one hand.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34- He knows this hand - and accepts the retrieve every time.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- It's the basis for all that follows.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- It's the basis for all that follows.- - Yes, before we start to move on.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49- Right, Ioan, what next?
0:33:50 > 0:33:54- We'll send them out, as if - a pheasant has been shot in there.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56- Which one will you send?
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- This is the experienced dog - I run in open stakes.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00- So, he's the boy?
0:34:01 > 0:34:02- Go back.
0:34:04 > 0:34:09- Tests like this crop up - in internationals and the worlds.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12- His outrun is perfect.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13- He's seen it.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15- He'll pick it up in one cast.
0:34:16 > 0:34:17- Has he got it?
0:34:17 > 0:34:18- We'll see.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- I can't help him in there. - He's coming.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- They go out a lot faster - than I expected.
0:34:24 > 0:34:30- To win at the top, you need a dog - with drive, pace and style.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32- He's been out there now...
0:34:32 > 0:34:33- Good boy.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- As I said, - good boy with the right hand.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38- He knows he's done well.
0:34:41 > 0:34:46- It's incredible to see, and that's - why these dogs get up early.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50- You see them in the morning, - when I enter the kennel...
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- ..or when the gear goes on - before a competition...
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- ..they're on their front feet - and ready to go.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59- It's also why you get up early.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00- How did you start?
0:35:01 > 0:35:04- Good luck came out of bad luck.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- I was a rugby referee - at a high level.
0:35:07 > 0:35:13- I remember refereeing Pontypridd - and Newbridge on a Saturday.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17- I had a serious accident - on the following Tuesday.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21- I broke my back in four places, - my shoulder, lots of other bones.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23- It was pretty serious.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27- I had a dog at the time.
0:35:27 > 0:35:33- When you're laying in bed, - not knowing if you'll walk again...
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- ..that dog was a big help to me.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37- Yes, I was unlucky...
0:35:37 > 0:35:41- ..because my career - as a rugby referee was over.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- But it led to something else...
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- ..that has gone - from strength to strength.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52- That shows in the way the dogs - just stand by you here.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- They owe you everything, - and vice versa, in a way.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00- The day I can't do it any more - will be a very sad day for me.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- It's been incredible - to watch the dogs working...
0:36:04 > 0:36:06- ..and to meet such a character.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07- I hope you enjoyed yourself.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08- I hope you enjoyed yourself.- - It was fantastic.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- Ioan had a great day with the dogs.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- Back in the Dyfi valley...
0:36:19 > 0:36:24- ..the hunters now have - their sights set on ducks.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- Three ducks each, OK, boys?
0:36:31 > 0:36:33- Glen, you take this field.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38- Everyone's going round the lake, - and the ducks are all down there.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- There are people - going out everywhere.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- There'll be a lot of shooting now.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- Are they more stupid than pheasants?
0:36:46 > 0:36:48- Are they more stupid than pheasants?- - A little, yes.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52- We hope they'll come around - and around and around.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- They know that it isn't safe here.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- I don't feel safe myself.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01- I don't feel safe myself.- - The cartridges aren't that big!
0:37:12 > 0:37:13- Three ducks each.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14- Three ducks each.- - Three, yes.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- It's a good way to control them.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- That way, - they'll last through the season.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22- Are these raised in the shed?
0:37:22 > 0:37:24- Are these raised in the shed?- - No, we buy them in.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26- They go straight onto the lake.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30- The girls love it.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- They've grown up with it.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- Lisa was two weeks old - when she first came.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- They eat pheasant, duck, anything.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- It's nice for them to know - where their food comes from.
0:37:43 > 0:37:44- Exactly.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- They like to pluck them - and prepare them.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- You're very smart today.
0:37:52 > 0:37:53- Have you had new clothes?
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- Have you had new clothes?- - I did some modelling last week.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57- Did you?
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- They wanted someone with a belly - to try on some shirts.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- I did think about you.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05- But they wanted looks as well!
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- I used to have them.
0:38:08 > 0:38:09- That's been checked.
0:38:11 > 0:38:11- .
0:38:16 > 0:38:16- Subtitles
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:38:28 > 0:38:33- Still to come, the city boy - who yearns for country life.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- Nain's giving first aid to Elis!
0:38:39 > 0:38:40- I got a cut.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48- Back on the lake, I know - that shooting's not my thing.
0:38:48 > 0:38:54- I couldn't leave Clywedog - without holding a fishing rod.
0:38:54 > 0:38:59- And who better to hold my hand - than the head ranger, Gareth Dixon?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03- You need to draw it in more.
0:39:03 > 0:39:04- Do I?
0:39:04 > 0:39:06- Do I?- - Draw this line in more.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10- That's better.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12- Put the rod down now.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14- What the hell was that now?
0:39:15 > 0:39:16- Not a fish?
0:39:16 > 0:39:17- Not a fish?- - No, not a fish.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21- Draw it in, carry on pulling.
0:39:22 > 0:39:23- Is that enough?
0:39:23 > 0:39:24- Now cast.
0:39:27 > 0:39:28- Slowly.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32- There's a tangle, Dai.
0:39:33 > 0:39:34- How did I tangle it?
0:39:35 > 0:39:36- I don't know!
0:39:37 > 0:39:39- Don't worry, I won't hit you.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42- There we are.
0:39:42 > 0:39:43- Draw it in slowly.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50- You'll only catch a fish - if the fly's in the water.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54- Don't rattle my brain!
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- What little I've got is out there.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00- Cast again now.
0:40:02 > 0:40:03- That's it.
0:40:05 > 0:40:06- Better.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08- It's nice to hear it whistle.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09- I don't need to leave it long.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11- I don't need to leave it long.- - No, just draw it in slowly.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13- Hopefully, we'll see a fish.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16- How long did you have lessons?
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- I started fly fishing - when I was four.
0:40:19 > 0:40:20- Four years old?
0:40:22 > 0:40:24- You were younger than the fish!
0:40:25 > 0:40:28- I qualified for the Welsh team - when I was nine.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- Did you?
0:40:31 > 0:40:34- We'll go up to try somewhere else.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38- Could you do this - for eight hours, Dai?
0:40:38 > 0:40:39- Eight hours?
0:40:39 > 0:40:40- Eight hours?- - In a competition.
0:40:56 > 0:40:57- Here it comes.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- It feels like a good fish too.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02- It's pulling from a long way.
0:41:03 > 0:41:04- It's pulling well.
0:41:04 > 0:41:05- It's pulling well.- - Yes, it is.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08- It's under me now.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09- Don't steal it.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- Make sure it doesn't go - under the boat and tip us over.
0:41:14 > 0:41:15- Here we go.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18- You've got two.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- Two on the same hook!
0:41:23 > 0:41:25- This inlet has a bit of history.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30- It's a nice spot, - especially with the sun on it.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34- Moc Morgan came here to fish - with President Carter.
0:41:34 > 0:41:35- From America?
0:41:35 > 0:41:38- He caught a fish in this bay.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40- Since then, we call it Carter's Bay.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42- Carter's Bay!
0:41:43 > 0:41:47- If I caught two, - would you rename it Jones's Bay?
0:41:47 > 0:41:48- More like Miracle Bay!
0:41:48 > 0:41:49- Miracle Bay!
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- I certainly needed a miracle.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59- Elis Morris has a much better chance - of realizing his dream.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03- Elis Morris is a city boy...
0:42:03 > 0:42:05- Elis Morris is a city boy...- - Milking!
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- But his heart's set - on being a farmer.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- I'm Elis and I live out of Cardiff.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12- I'm Elis and I live out of Cardiff.- - Out of Cardiff?
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- As you can see, - I've got a lot of stock on my farm.
0:42:17 > 0:42:22- I've been saving to buy a farm - for as long as I can remember.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- Until then, I help my relatives - in North Wales...
0:42:28 > 0:42:31- ..and learn a few tricks - about farming.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39- Sorry.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41- We're at Bron Haul today.
0:42:41 > 0:42:46- We're going to fetch - the orphan lambs...
0:42:46 > 0:42:47- ..from up in...
0:42:47 > 0:42:48- ..from up in...- - Cae Cefn.
0:42:48 > 0:42:49- Cae Cefn.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- We'll try to lure them inside - with this to check them.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56- The lambs like cakes.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00- You go down a bit.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03- I'll send them that way - and you go up there.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- It's a shame we don't have a dog.
0:43:14 > 0:43:15- In they go.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17- There you are, Fly.
0:43:17 > 0:43:23- Have you noticed - that three sheep have escaped?
0:43:25 > 0:43:27- Number four, don't you dare!
0:43:38 > 0:43:39- Close the gate.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43- We'll give you a demo - of how to shear a sheep...
0:43:43 > 0:43:45- ..with these.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47- ..with these.- - Taid's old shears.
0:43:48 > 0:43:51- You shouldn't play with them.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55- It may be an old way of shearing...
0:43:55 > 0:43:58- ..but it's still very sharp.
0:43:59 > 0:44:00- Take hold of the sheep.
0:44:02 > 0:44:04- Here's the sheep.
0:44:04 > 0:44:05- Can I have the shears?
0:44:06 > 0:44:09- I won't take the sheath off - in case I make a mess.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13- You cut down here...
0:44:14 > 0:44:16- ..then across like this...
0:44:17 > 0:44:18- ..and around the back.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21- This is a shearing machine.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25- This rope switches it on.
0:44:25 > 0:44:29- This is the power lead.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32- It makes a revving noise.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35- You go like this...
0:44:36 > 0:44:38- Shear down the belly first.
0:44:38 > 0:44:40- Up here...
0:44:40 > 0:44:41- Up here...- - Then put your leg here.
0:44:42 > 0:44:43- Over this way...
0:44:43 > 0:44:45- Over this way...- - Up the head.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49- There's something wrong - with this hurdle.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53- Nain's giving first aid to Elis!
0:44:54 > 0:44:58- Just wrap his finger with Sellotape!
0:44:58 > 0:45:00- And his mouth while you're at it.
0:45:01 > 0:45:02- I got a cut.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06- Then you should have finished...
0:45:15 > 0:45:17- It'll come, Elis, it'll come.
0:45:19 > 0:45:24- Patience is the name of the game, - and that's also true of fishing.
0:45:28 > 0:45:29- Here we go, Dai.
0:45:29 > 0:45:30- Here we go, Dai.- - Again?
0:45:31 > 0:45:33- It's a big fish, Dai.
0:45:33 > 0:45:34- It's a big fish, Dai.- - It is as well.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37- That's been here a while.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40- Do these come down to eat your feed?
0:45:40 > 0:45:43- Do these come down to eat your feed?- - No, these won't come near.
0:45:44 > 0:45:48- These are out in the lake, - ones we stocked during the year.
0:45:48 > 0:45:50- Here it is.
0:45:50 > 0:45:51- Here it is.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53- Look at the size of it!
0:45:56 > 0:45:58- That's a good one.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00- That's a good one.- - It's about five pounds, Dai.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06- Yes, and fresh, nice and red.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09- Just out of the water.
0:46:09 > 0:46:10- You can't get fresher!
0:46:13 > 0:46:14- Very good.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16- It's fine and quiet here.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18- It's wonderful here.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20- The poet's paradise.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26- I like the tranquillity here.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29- It is lovely and quiet here.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31- You can forget everything.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34- All the world's woes, - when you're here...
0:46:35 > 0:46:36- ..in Carter's Bay.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43- This one's different.
0:46:43 > 0:46:44- This one's different.- - What's wrong now?
0:46:44 > 0:46:45- This is heavy.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47- This is heavy.- - Lift the rod up, Dai.
0:46:48 > 0:46:49- Lift it up.
0:46:49 > 0:46:50- That's better.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52- Draw the line in slowly.
0:46:52 > 0:46:53- This is my first fish.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55- This is my first fish.- - There's a fish on the line.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58- It won't pull me - out of the boat, will it?
0:46:59 > 0:47:01- There's enough weight - to keep us here.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05- I'm in such a flap, - I don't know what I'm pulling!
0:47:05 > 0:47:07- Slowly now.
0:47:08 > 0:47:09- There it is!
0:47:11 > 0:47:12- Lift the rod up!
0:47:13 > 0:47:14- Here we are.
0:47:14 > 0:47:15- Did you get it?
0:47:17 > 0:47:19- Well, not bad! Not bad!
0:47:22 > 0:47:23- Miracle Island!
0:47:23 > 0:47:24- That's the new name!
0:47:25 > 0:47:26- We'll put it back.
0:47:31 > 0:47:32- Yes?
0:47:32 > 0:47:34- Yes?- - Did you want to keep it?
0:47:34 > 0:47:35- No, not really.
0:47:37 > 0:47:42- The biggest miracle now - would be to have some supper.
0:47:44 > 0:47:48- If you want me before next time, - I might be out on Clywedog.
0:47:48 > 0:47:49- I love it here.
