a hard question indeed some flies become fashionable others have been around for yonks I tend to fish nymphs a lot for rainbows on small and large stillwaters I think the main reason for this is the decline in terrestrial insects which tends to keep the troot doon Ihave been fishing for half a century yes Im no parr and have long smolted what do you think on the declline I remember when the air used to be black with insects in Summer I wonder if gaudy lures fished on sunk lines would have taken brownies on the hallo;d Harray back then What about the Don how has it affected the brownie fishing?
