Over the past few weeks i have been fishing most days i have been fishing spending a lot of time on my local water knotthollow using the float tube, its a brilliant way of getting out to those fish that are just out of reach of the bank angler

The rest of my time has been split between all the WAADA club waters and the River EDEN.With the river being low and clear its been on the stillwaters of High Newton,Gyll Head and High Fairbanks.

On the Sunday myself and Greg visited high Fairbanks a catch and release fishery controlled by WADAA it was tough going as the weather was hot with a light breeze but we both caught fish ( and the sun ) its one of my favourite waters to fish with stunning scenery

sunday

Today i had a half day session on high newton the weather was fine with a good ripple on the water, on getting to the water and having a quick look around i could not see anything showing.

I opted for a intermediate line and a nymph and caught fish  the trick was swapping colours after a couple of fish.



A nice suprise
