Many of us have taken on lockdown projects during the past year or so - redecorating the house, painting that garden fence, or even clearing out the attic.
But few of us will have used our time to try to uncover a long-lost golf course.
That s exactly what Chris Powell did when he started clearing bracken on common land near Rhayader, in Powys. I was told by one of my friends that I had lost my mind up here. But I quite enjoyed it, said Mr Powell.

April means many things to fly fishers. For most, it rings in the fair-weather fishing season, as the first waves of blue winged olives and caddis arrive with those April showers. If you’ve ever experienced one of our blizzard caddis hatches on the Colorado or Roaring Fork rivers, you know what I’m talking about. This is a true “breathe through your teeth” hatch, complete with bugs crawling up your nose and between your eyes and polarized lenses. And it’s all starting right now.
Afternoons and early evenings can be magical, as adult female caddis come back to the water to lay their eggs on the water’s surface. Good patterns to carry are Missing Links, Pearl and Elks, and the E/C Caddis. Suggested caddis nymphs are the Z-Wing, soft hackle Hare’s Ears, and the ever-popular beaded Prince Nymph. Remember this sunny days should favor caddis, while overcast days result in heavier mayfly hatches.
