After blanking on the eden sat and working on a weeding party on the bela sunday morning i headed for knotthallow sunday afternoon for a session in my float tube.
The weather was just about ideal with a gentle ripple overcast and warm sport was frantic i switched between a damsel nymph and various spider patterns to bring a steady stream of trout to my tube
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.

sunday session
Up to knott sunday for a few hours in the float tube there was a window in the weather before the heavens opened.
On setting up and getting on the water i could see a few fish topping but nothing much rising a opted for a team of spiders and headed for the middle of the tarn,I caught 6 fish but had to search them out and caught almost all of them casting right into the edge of the bankside as they seemed to be hugging the waters edge.

Eden treble
With the weather set fair sat a had a day on the Eden and as usual it did not disappoint, the river is at summer level low and clear and you could see lots of fish moving about but with the low clear water stealth is needed as they spook very easily.
First graying was a fish of about 7 inch's and was very welcome indeed at least i never blanked !!! the second and third were fish of 2lb and 2 1/4 lb they put a terrific scrap.
As usual they were photographed and returned unharmed to fight another day.

Had a few hours on knott friday after work on getting over the style i could see dave helm and adam (sorry adam i dont know your surname) both info fish as i walked round and had a quick work with dave he commented on the size of the fish we got delivered at the last stocking.
After walking around and lookng for moving fish i caught 2 cracking sized fish both on beetles on filling in the catch return book i could see that in a 2 hour session dave had caught 7 trout on a F Fly and Adam was still fishing and catching on a regular basis.

Eden
Sunday i had a trip up the eden the weather was cold,wet and windy i had a walk down the bank looking for any rising fish but there was little or no surface activity
Greg noticed that there was quite a few olives hatching off so hope sprang eternal, greg was first to catch a small trout about 7 inch.
In the next pool i hooked into a trout that led me a merry dance several times leaping out of the water trying to throw the hook eventually i got it to the net and released it a fish close to 1lb.
We carried on up the river looking for fish to cast at but saw nothing so wet and cold we walked back to the car, not the best day but as always it was nice to get on the river.
