High Fairbanks

Today i had a trip up high fairbanks its the  jewel in the crown of the WADDA in my opinion sat on the hill tops above ings.

With it being a catch and release water members only and a good 5 mins walk from the car park its not overly fished and with stunning views of the mountains its the perfect place to spend a few hours and let the stress of the working week melt away.

As usual the resident trout were in obliging mood and could be caught on drys or wets i caught mine on small beetle patterns.

          The casualty of war i hooked and landed a beast of a trout estimated to be
          into double figures  but alas my net came out a poor second and snapped
           clean in half,putting a premature end to  my session.
          
         
                                                    

High Newton

With a day booked from work i planned to fish high newton till dinner time and then head to the bela hopefully just in time for loads of olives coming off and trout sipping them down at there leasure.I arrived at high newton bright and early heading for the top end of the water i opted for a small nymph with a grhe on the point.It wasnt long before i was into my first fish and they kept coming after a hectic 3 hours session i had lost count of the number of rainbows i had caught.I packed up and headed for the bela on getting rigged up and rushed to the water to have a look not a olive to be seen,after a good walk around about 1.45 the first olives started to hatch of it wasnt a massive hatch but just enough but to my dismay i didnt see a trout all afternoon so im still waiting to catch my first bela brown trout

they keep coming

 

 

and coming and getting bigger
