It’s been a productive weekend with good sedge hatches between 10:30-11:30pm peaking at 11-11:15pm. Had my first go with the Barrio Troutcast copolymer and the knots held up well with these two beauties  :z16 both caught on a CDC emerging sedge.






This trout was over a pound lighter but still gave a  good account of itself with that shovel-like tail.

I'm really pleased that you are liking the Barrio Troutcast Tippet guys ..... You are certainly putting it to the test with the fish that you two have been catching lately!  :cool:

Best wishes

A bit quieter on the river tonight ...... a gentle reminder that the 'magic hour' doesn't always happen every night :z4

Agreed, but what might not be happening on one beat might be happening on another :wink I had a blast last night between 10:15 -11:45.


Caught a few crackers in this weight range.  All fish were taken on a size 14 sedge

Or on a different pool! Arriving at the river last night I met a guy who told me it was a waste of time, river was rising apparently.  I walked on for a few mins to a favourite spot immediately spotted a rise and hooked and landed a nice 1.5lbr. Next target a min later was a much bigger fish that got off after a long tussle. Followed by another dozen + all from the same spot. I really must have another look for the charging cable for my camera....

Great stuff guys :z16

We had a few fish too, but we had to work for them. I think localised weather conditions also play a part in how things go on the night. All great fun :cool:

Has anyone seen the river this afternoon? I guess that rain had an effect?

Haven't been on the river for a few days Noel, but these storms certainly aren't doing us any favours on the trout front :z6

DRY FLY TIME!!  :z16

This trout was caught last night on the dry just before 11pm. There were a few fish moving and a decent hatch of BWOs.






A sturdy trout in prime condition...
