I think yesterday was the longest day of the year?

Seemed like a nice evening to be on the water ...... was anybody out there? How'd it go?

Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike, yesterday sure was the longest day so in celebration I headed to the river stripped naked and commenced to fish Ok before the tackle comments start I'm joking...
Was asked at work yesterday to switch over to night shift for the week so meant the perfect opportunity for a late river session.
Was prepared to do an all nighter if it was worth it.
Had a few on drys and seen a few good fish rising which I failed to hook despite repeatedly attracting them
One thing I learnt was I need a knot I can tie in the dark..
All seemed to go dead about midnight and after an hour of inactivity I had enough and went home to bed.

Hi all,

It certainly was a long day, one that ended with me falling over and ending up in A&E till 4am.

I was fishing the Lower Parkhill Beat on the Don and fell and dislocated my knee ......well I am just glad it was the knee and not ma rod!

Be safe out there in the dark!

You need to perfect that knot that Korrie showed us, works a treat once you get a bit of practice in

Yes it was a long day... Last week I could set my watch for the main rise. Last night they were a 1/2 hour or so later. I had quite a few 1lbers and a couple between 2-3lbs

Steve, sorry to hear about your knee  - that's what happens when you drop a cannon like a 5wt on your leg

Does that mean you will actually get more fishing in now?

all the best

Nightmare Steve hope you recover quickly.
Alex I was cursing myself last night I had not got that very knot. Will put that right.

On Saturday itīs loch fishing, with my new flyline.
