(that both catch fish and get lost in equal proportions!)
You too, thought it was me.... must be the flies
Anyway today i had a cracking afternoon on the middle river, plenty fish out to play in between the rain storms, sometimes even this.......WTF....
Anyway found a nice pod of fish occupying a pool who were steadily feeding on either hatching caddis or olives, not sure which but they didn't mind the DHE in a 14 (most things liked it today
) They were all good fish, interesting to find them grouped together, might have to rename it though a pod seems a bit tame, i think a gang suited them better.
I managed to eek out the smallest two from the edges and was then thwarted by the showers which put them down.
Still cracking fish though, but his bigger brothers would have been nice.
Lots of food for them and there was a steady rise from 1130 right through till 6 when i forced myself to leave before i got soaked again.
So it seems we are still on daytime hatches with lots of feeding fish, presentation was the trick today with the wind being a nuisance, but i found even if i dropped the fly right on the fishes head they would still rise for it. The water is slightly coloured and this might be helping not to spook them
More red spots, average size at the moment is impressive, What a river....
