After working away for most of august i finally got out on the river again. Headed out midafternoon with a new sense of optimism and my new bottle of cdc oil. I waited only ten mins before i noticed a fish feeding steady and covered it and second cast i hooked up with a fish of around a pound. Wading back another fish was rising in the seam of fast water, so i covered it and yet another fish of around a pound was on. Happy days and great to be out again.
I headed home happy and headed back out at six. Half hour in i noticed a huge swirl midstream. So i took my time and slowly approached from below and covered it, five or six casts in and a big brown back rolls over my fly and i strike, then it lunges upstream nearly taking the rod out of my hand. Before i could get some kind of control he was off.
. I really believe it was the biggest i have ever hooked. I would like to say thats fishing, but im p****d to say the least. Ah well great to be in amongst them again though, and i will be back back for him
