Over the last few weeks with the weather being on the hot side i has been a case of picking your days and fishing either early morning or late at night, With this in mind I have been doing a few late sessions on my local brown trout water knotthallow.
Using my float tube I have had some very fruitful sessions catching well on mainly spider patterns,but on my last visit there was a massive hatch of flying ants hatching off and this certainly had the trout looking up.
I have also not neglected the river and have had a few sessions on the eden catching mainly trout with a sprinkling of big grayling amongst them, last weekend i took a fellow angler onto the eden who had not fished a river before.After setting his tackle up and showing him likely haunts he hooked and lost a trout and then managed to hook and land a grayling the look on his face was amazing and worth the trip up just for that.
Last sunday saw me on the bela at milnethorpe (regretably not fishing but on a working party) greg and myself have been the last twice and for half a days work you get a days ticket to fish the water,so i will be on the bela next weekend weather permitting.

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.
