Chasing Rainbows

After watching the weather forecast for the weekend i woke to see  lots of sunny spells but cold biting winds i did not hold out much hope of catching as i headed off to ghyll head.

On reaching the water the first thing i noticed was the abundance of damsels about (see pics below) , i sat on the bankside for a while watching the attached male and female damsel fly hover over the water and the female dipping her body in the water depositing her eggs. (see pic 1 the male and female together)




 


After a while i decided to get fishing and into my flybox and out came a suspender damsel , i have to admit nicking this pattern off dave helm who showed me how to tie it





and a hour or so later here are the fruits of my labour 






i came off the water having had a brillant day getting into my car i had to take a few shots of the fishery and the surrounding hills
