Back on the eden today with my fishing buddy greg saw us stalking trout as the eden is still very low and clear Greg targeted two trout after putting a cast over them a few times they moved off.Round the bend in the next run i noticed a fish sipping away in the foam line,casting a size 18 BWO up came a pair of lips and the result was a stunning 3lb 2oz eden brownie (photographed,wighed and returned).We carried on up the river and dropped onto a pool as a large hatch of BWO'S were coming off taking at turns to cast to rising fish i hooked into another big brownie it jumped 2 foot out of the water trying to throw the hook, after a brief and heart stopping battle it shook the hook.Not a bad day one to me and one to the trout but it gives me a excuse to return to the eden!!
A light hearted look into the year of a fly fishing fanatic, I don’t profess to be the best fly fisherman in the world, I tie my own flies (badly) and travel the country fishing various locations. I am at home fishing anything from the Lakeland tarns where I live to the rivers of the Eden to fishing Stillwater’s.
