I've seen Trout rising at lunchtime but have been focusing my efforts around 5-6 til 10ish. Still the odd Sedge but mostly BWO and smaller upwings. Don't forget about spinner patterns!

Thanks Liam, I'll head out this afternoon!

[Liam Stephen]

Went out this morning to try some nymphing on my Streamflex plus.....

This was the result 


Note to self, when you hook something decent in a heavy flow don't try to bully it!!

Oops

[Colin Sunley]

I see you tried throwing money at it and that didn't fix it 

[Sandy Nelson]

You did that on a fish

Must have taken a fair dink at some point to cause a circumferential stress raiser to get a clean break.

Will be interesting to see what Greys say when you send it back

Did you by any chance have the rod held high when that happened?

i'm with Sandy there. perhaps a nasty 'Clousering' or a big ding during transport because otherwise, rods don't tend to snap in that particular manner. anyhow, sorry for your loss...

Yes a fish was on at the time. I hooked it at the end of my drift as it began to swing.  It is possible it took a clattering on the way where I fish as it like a jungle at this time of year.  I wasn't high sticking  just applying a good amount of side pressure to try and steer it out of the main flow. It's with Greys now.

That's where Glass comes into its own Proper trout bum rods

My first trophy since 1st April 

Taken on the dry during a BWO hatch after a morning of nymphing. It was in awesome condition, I think it would be close to 4lbs.

Nice one Liam

Cracking fish Liam well done!

I was out tonight for the first time in ages. Awesome night to be on the river not a breath of wind and the full moon reflecting on the water, magic.  Just as I was thinking of finishing up I covered a rise I'd half seen downstream of the rock I was perched on.  Oh my...... Long story short after a long battle where I was never really in control the hook fell out while we were both taking a breather. Huge trout, can't say how big but in the high single figures I'm guessing.  Would have been nice to have held it and got a closer look but just to battle with it like that in the moonlight was something I won't forget

Great stuff Noel
