Well i've been out a few times over the last couple of weeks and had a few of these
All on the SSS fished on a sinking tip.
However this afternoon i went down after a loooong shift at work and decided to give the Epic a wee exercise before tomorrow's Broonie trip. Again i used a short sinking tip and the SSS my first pull resulted in a rather bonny Finnock about 13"
Pretty soon though a few of these started to hatch, woohoo.
and a few of the finnock decided they looked nice and tasty, well i had a few dries in my box so i put on a nice size 12 DHE and despite the 5ft sinking leader and a 4ft tippet i proceded to land a few very fine finnock on the dryfly
Turned out to be my best day of the season so far, so now fully pumped for tomorrows treasure hunt
Amazing what can happen with the wrong line, wrong leader and no floatant on a cold miserable day in march
.
Cheers
Sandy
