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.

day of two halves
With the rivers holding no water what so ever and only a few hours spare to fish i visited High Newton one of my favourite waters.
One arrival i was met by flat calm water and quite a few fishermen,it was hard going lots of fish topping but with no ripple it was going to be a hard days fishing
I went through my fly box trying various drys and nympths but to no avail,finally at about 12 oclock the wind picked up i made my way straight towards the ripple luckily i met quite a few anglers heading in the opposite direction wanting to fish with the wind on there backs.
Once on the dam wall it was like a different fishery with the wing blowing into the dam wall the fish started topping.on went a shipmans buzzer and with combination of the ripple and a few fish to cast too i had a hectic couple of hours catching numerous fishting fit rainbows.
