First brownie I never caught came to a fly tangled in bushes on the Rotten Calder just outside East Kilbride. If you'd taken a picture it would have looked like that. The fly was dangling above the trout about two feet and it launched itself into the air and missed by about six inches. :shock

In a similar vein this one by Kim Taylor is from the Spring 2012 Birds (RSPB Journal) - sorry about quality, I had to scan it.

Beautiful pics!!
Its owesome to see the trout leaping for Mayflies
But.....
I experianced some simular, not with a life Mayfly, but my imitation!!

Evening rise on the river Kyll in Germany, June 2008

The Yellow Drake was about 10 inches above surface when the trout took it!!

Amazing!!!
Unfortunately never experianced it anymore since then but when I look at the pics, I'm back in sweet memory lane!!

Cheers for sharing folks
