"Game fishing is for fish like trout or salmon. The most important thing is to choose the right fly to match the flies the fish will eat.

You've then got to choose the right line - it's all in the density. You can have a line which extends three feet or six feet, it depends on where the fish are. If it's warm, they rise to the top, but if it's cold they're deeper down in the water.

I've been competing for years and I've been in the Welsh fishing team ten times. It's a great way of relaxing and spending time with friends in the boat. It's also a great way of meeting new people if you go to competitions.

My favourite lake is Llyn Brenig, which is stocked with rainbow trout. I also like going to Llyn Clywedog, which has a natural stock of other fish, like brown trout. I always put the fish back after catching them - no-one in our house likes eating fish much!

In the winter I content myself by making my own flies out of seal's fur, feathers from a hen's neck or a synthetic material. There are hundreds of different kinds of flies depending on what type of fish you want to catch. You can buy them in shops of course, but home-made ones are far better.

I'm a member of Seiont, Gwyrfai and Llyfni Angling Society and we offer coaching to adults and children. Unfortunately, though, it's not a sport you can learn over night.

I also help run the Welsh disabled game fishing team. You must be registered disabled to take part, as well as being a member of a club which is affiliated to the Welsh Salmon and Trout Angling Association. We hold trials every year to pick the team, at Llyn Clywedog in June and Llyn Brenig in August.

There's a competition each year between England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The winner is the one with the most points over two days. The competition lasts for three days, but allowances are made for bad weather when it could be difficult for someone with a disability to give of their best out on the lake.

In 2005 the championships were held at Llyn Brenig and we won!"
