I walked the river and found odd fish rising in pools and picked them off all on dry's a good day all in all.These fish were not the biggest fish i have caught on the river but on a 3 weight rod they still fought well.

| not big fish but nice to catch |
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.

High Fairbanks
Last weekend i had a trip up onto High Fairbanks trout fishery its one of the jewel in the crown off WADDA waters with brilliant top of the water fishing with massive olive hatches.
With it being a catch and release water and a good 10 min walk from the car park its not overly fished.The weather was fine with a good ripple on the water.
On getting to the water the fish were on top and feeding well myself and greg were soon into fish and continued to catch most of the morning.

carp on the fly
With the weather set fine for a few days it was off in search of my first carp of the year on the fly.On getting to the water there were a lot of carp on the surface after feeding dog biscuits and getting the carp feeding it was time to have a cast and as you can see below it worked!!!! A very dogged fight and after a good few minutes a 10lb plus fully scaled mirror carp was landed.
