out and about

With the weather finally calming down a bit i headed for knotthallow armed with my new rod i treated myself to a orvis helios a nice bit of kit and i got it for a steal.After a quick casting lesson with Tony Riley i decided to have a hour on knott and try and christen my rod the weather was not brilliant with a cold northerly wind but i did manage to winkle 3 trout out.

On bank holiday monday i drove up to the eden for a few hours river fishing again not brilliant weather with a cold wind but about 2 oclock the sun tried to break out i had 3 trout one weighed just over 1 1/2 ib and the other 2 were nudging 1 ib a great way to spend a bank holiday.



still a few of these knocking about today

ALL Shapes And Sizes

High Newton was my choice for toady's venue the weather was warm with a nice ripple,having a walk around the fishery i decided to fish of fantasy island as i had one bank to myself

On setting up i noticed a steady string of beetles getting blown onto the water there was the occasional fish rising but the more the beetles got blown onto the water the more the fish started to feed.

I had a great day catching several fish all shapes and sizes with a nice surprise to end the day.

High Newton is fishing really well at the moment especially if you like dry fly fishing.

another trip to knott and yet again the fish took a liking to my spider pattern 3 hours later and 15 trout landed it was time to leave before i lost the light

With the wind finally dropping off i decided to try knott for a few hours in the float tube.With nothing much showing i opted for a black and peacock spider and was rewarded with 8 trout.



The icing on the cake was a 18 " trout and another 2 tagged fish (see photos below)
