Nice day today

Breeze got up in the afternoon, but despite the cold water (5'C, last week its was nearly 8'C) There was a rather good hatch of these little beauties



met up with some good mates and had a grand catch up, then to business once the fish decided to actually feed off the top.
My best of the day took a plume tip, 18" and in cracking condition, more like a May fish than a March one.





A few more over the course of the afternoon and an enjoyable day, Young Mr Stephen picked up a few as well :z16 as you will see shortly :z16

Duo to start as always!  :z7 :z4

2.5lb and around 18". A bit lean but he will be nice in a month or so.



Then dries when the hatch got going. My best on the dries was 13" but I did get a ST kelt and a nice little finnock.



Another enjoyable day on the Deveron!

eschewing the more traditional fishing attire, Liam has adopted the relaxed pyjamas and slippers style...

First day out this season and good to catch up with Iain and Sandy and also to meet Liam. I am so glad that Liam did not show the telly tubby/Kermit outfit until after the fishing was finished.

I saw a few fish rising and managed to spook a couple and prick the other one while all the other guys had some success. I was about to move to another pool as the hatch was petering out when I met Liam coming up the bank. I went up to show Liam where I had seen a couple of fish rising earlier as we sat on the bank blethering and the fish rose again. Liam graciously told me that I should give it another shot so I waded in and got in position. As per sods law as soon as I got into position the wind got up and although it was not an issue to shoot the line into place the blo##y fly was being blown towards the bank about 6 feet off target for about half a dozed casts. All of a sudden the wind dropped and the fly (fortunately landed in position A up he came and after a short but spirited fight a wee 12" trout in spanking condition as in the net and quickly released without a photo. Not a trophy but very welcome first of the season and a very happy boy.

Thanks for the day out guys, most enjoyable hope to see you on the bank again soon.

Eddie. :z18

As my mate Ash has just pointed out I was merely matching the hatch. Guys I'm dressed as a Large Dark Olive!  :z4 :z7
