I've made the most of the last few good evenings and had some interesting nights on various beats of the river.
Lots of flies on all the nights but no two nights were the same.
Sunday night the fish were after big sedges and were happy to hit big flies skated across the water, monday night they wanted really small flies fished on the drift, Tuesday it was smallish caddis (14) fished on the drift or skated, last night they were after yellow mays to start with (unusual) and went onto micro caddis later on. I'm pretty sure the fish were feeding on very small caddis on all the nights, but they are very hard to see in the dark.
So its been hard work with the bigger fish starting to feed as the Bats come out,
I managed to catch fish most nights on a size 12 or 14 CDC and Elk, but the bigger boys were quite shy and easily spooked
this was the best of the 4 nights
And i had a few like this too
So all in, a few good nights, didn't manage any Scott sized fish but i did see a few and know where they live
all i have to do is improve my stealthyness and accuracy in the failing light and maybe i might get one
Being in the right spot when the bats come out makes a huge difference so spend some time looking
Back to work for a few days now, so no more midnight finishes for a few days, if you are out, stay late its worth it
Cheers
