Well with the rain forecast for today, last night was likely to be the best option for me, before i go back to work this week.
So we headed down to try another flat at the tail of a different pool. 10pm came and so did the fish. Every now and then the Don reminds you why you keep coming back, last night was one of those evenings
I took the Demo 476 out for its inaugural fish and we all know how good Salsa rods are, this one is a just a belting little dryfly rod, the new spec blanks have improved an already brilliant little rod, i had a lot of fun.
So did Colin, after hearing about the amazing sedge hatches on an evening, he finally got in amongst one and made the most of it. Breaking his PB with a cracking fish that fought well above its already substantial weight.
So we had evening, spent with size 14 and 16 sedges and picked off a lot of really nice fish, in the space of about an hour and a half
The camera was still in impressionist mode but the memory is indelible, not every night that this is the smaller side of the average.
Plenty good size, really hard fighting fish, with a couple of trophies between us, all on the dry on a lovely warm evening with a sky full of colour. What a way to spend an evening
And now its raining again
