Spent 3 hours at the river this afternoon, never seen anything big and even the smaller fish were only popping up on the few occasions that the wind dropped.

Happy enough to take this on a size 19 smut.



and spend a wee while with the camera

Winkled one out of the middle river today in brilliant sunshine.  Small grilse, didn't weigh it but if is was over 3lb I'd be very surprised.  It took a Crathie Fly tied on a size 18 Double Wilson fished on a full floater and 4X tippet.  Fairly quick water so fly was just under, awesome take, nose broke through as it took, almost like a trout taking a dun.
Crappy mobile photo I'm afraid, proper camera was flat.

Had a cracking day on the river today, went to a different stretch of water than my usual. Lots of rising fish and i had a blast with the dry fly.


The first of the day at just over a pound.
20 ft above this one and i hooked into a decent fish but lost it at the net.
Whilst wading back to bank i saw the back of a trout break the water so lined up to cast.


Cracking trout of just over 2lbs.


Releasing back to the water.

A few smaller ones also. All in all a great day. :z18
