this week

With the weather either blowing a gale or throwing to down with rain so it was just a case of getting out for a few hours when i could.I weds night i have a few hours up at knottallow the wind was blowing right down the tarn and with no fish showing i just headed for some shelter i had one fish out on a beetle pattern.

On sunday i had a half day up at high newton the sky looked threatening with rain as i parked up i had a look on the dam and noticed a few fish topping so i set up with a dry set up and managed to pick a few fish off here and there.The weather closed in and the heavens opened so i admitted defeat and headed home.

Next week i have got a ticket for BAA waters so im looking forward to that and hopefully i will share my days fishing on here

River Eden

Sat morning albert and myself had a day on the eden i dropped albert off as musgrave the river had a fair bit of water in it and it was quite coloured and i  headed for warcop, on parking in the layby i headed up stream looking for rising fish walking to the top of the beat i never saw a fish move i had a few casts in likely looking runs but nothing was doing.

About 2 oclock i noticed a trickle of olives steadily coming off i walked back down to the bridge and had a few casts in the pool and managed to catch  a small trout,and in no time at all it was time to go back to musgrave and pick albert up on getting in the car his tale was the same nothing moving till 2 ish and a steady rise took place and he got 3 out on olive drys.

my only trout of the day small but fin perfect
