So who's venturing out tomorrow? If the weather holds out there could be some bumper hatches. I'm just hoping the wind eases up!

Looks like a fine morning for it ......... Enjoy

Great to be back  out on running water again today. Decent weather, nice water and good company.

My first run of the day produced the fish below. The usual Ptn fished Duo style did the trick. Great fight and fantastic condition for this time of year.







As usual Sandy provided the great pics and he has a really good video as well. Hopefully he posts a link soon.

Liam's fish was a belter. Epic, in fact:







I opened the season with a nice, but slightly skinny, trout of just over 2lbs, on a 16 cdc emerger.
Flies, and surface trout, were scarce today, but still a fine day to be back on the river





cheers

Indeed it was a lovely day to be out.

I managed to spook every fish i went near, although there were not very many, so a blank for me, but the young un's fish was a beauty as you can see and i think it made everyone's day

Will post the video when i get it sorted although the punchline is out of the bag

Arrived around 1.30 and a few fish just starting to show.
Opened my account with two nice fish in the 8 to 10 oz range both sighted, both covered both took first time so first two fish covered, first two casts of 2017 and two fish, 100% record    None other than size 12 Olive DHE for me, what else could it be 

Cracker of a fish Liam and lovin the pic Iain.

Round 2 today for me

Hatch started at 11.30 and lasted till 1pm, it started with LDO's and finished with March Browns.
I found a good number of fish rising in a reasonably sheltered stretch so i got off the mark for the year in style as well Not quite as big as Liams fish yesterday, but a 20"er to kick things off will do me just fine



Managed to fool a few good ones had 5 in total, from 12"-20" with a couple of 16"er's to keep things fun





The plume tip picked up where it left off last spring although when the olives petered out and it became March browns dominating, the fish seemed to disappear. All damn good fun despite the wind. The bamboo coupled with a Smallstream5 punched its way through any breeze , well impressed

You're toooooooooooo funny

Just the one, on the Nymph but still on the Cane and thats supposed to be like swearing 

[Euan Innes]

Nice going guys! 
Loving the Perfect Sandy and the use of bamboo / cane. Oddly enough I had mine out for a pre-season  check and clean tonight so  it must be an omen. 
Keep up the good work and keep the photos coming.

Another Epic day on the Deveron today. Another trophy landed, several very good fish encountered and my first few off the top as well. Hatch lasted from 2.30-4pm today.

Next best at 18" 3.25lb






Roll on Sunday!
 

[Sandy Nelson]

Very nice

That 18"er looks to be in great condition, some of these early season fish are almost Mint

 Pictures getting better as well
