Hi Noel,
Hopefully the wind will be in your favour tomorrow as a single hander today would have been a tall order at times due to the wind
As for the venue? I'll drop you a pm
I'm off to paint a room in the house and if I can get finished off I'll try and grab a few hours with you tomorrow.
There are fish in the river but I'd say it needs a good 6 inches (cheeky) to help things along.
* Cover as much water as you can
* Don't go light on leader breaking strain (I typically use 19.5lb)
* Flies??? I think mobility and depth are more inportant,
Black and Green, Black and Orange, Cascade, Black Red & Yellow, Yellow & Black?????? who knows?
* Jims' description of lies are as good as any.
* As is his note on not striking. It's hard not to lift straight into a fish if it takes when the flies on the dangle but if a fish takes on the 'swinging across' point it's not such an issue as the rod is usually held in a leisurely 'lazy ghillie' manner.
I was out today on one of the ADAA waters and was fortunate enough to hook 3 and even managed to land 2 of them (safely returned). What did I say about Green, Gold & Black? the dogs danglies!
