Well done Ben,

Nice one Ben, but you will have to dye that line to match the colour of the new rod

I was wondering if the tourists will have reached as far as Alford yet. What do you recon?

The line the new Skagit Max Short and is the best Skagit head I have used!!  The back end is hi vis orange but the rest is hard to see on the water.  Orange also hard to see now Rio have decided to make all the hendling secions on this year running line hi vis orange too, diffifult to judge overhang.
Fish could be that far up, water not at all cold for time of year and there has been enough of it.

Good shit Dude

Deep?

Sandy

Skagit with 10' T14 tip. 4' leader and tube with 1.5" Cu tube dressed to 2".  I'd estimate to have been fishing about 4' down.


Cheers

A great start to the season Ben.
Sounds like there's a good spring run on at the moment.

Nice fish Ben   

[Andy Finlay]

Nice one Ben, so far I've lost 2 and landed one off the Don, unfortunately the one was brown and spotty so not exactly what I was aiming for but swam away happily in readiness for 1st April  . If the weather carries on like this I'm looking forward to the start of the proper fishing season next month .

Andy,

There was the odd trout rising yesterday and I had two on the salmon gear.  Both were about 1lb, plump and in excellent condition.

Saw a good number of stoneflies about 2PM and a few different types of midge although no upwings.


Cheers

Hey Ben,

If you were on your home stretch I was probably at the top end but earlier in the morning. Out again this afternoon from lunch till about 2ish. Not seen any rises yet but weathers looking good and hopefully will stay warm for a few weeks. Changed from the shire ticket to the ADAA one this year so looking forward to some serious walking and checking out of the river I've not had access to before.

Cheers
Andy
