up and running

With it being the first day of the new season and me having a rare weekend off, it would have been rude not to have a few hours fishing.

My first choice was high newton i wish it was low newton as i wouls have been blown off the place the wind was that bad,So option number two was a short drive too ghyll head where i could at least find some shelter.

On parking up i could see that this must have been the same options as there was a fair number of anglers congrigated around the dam and the bays.

I set up and walked in the oposite direction towards the shallow end of the water,i found a bay that was not being fished and set up with a small olive nymph and fished for about 20 mins without a touch on went a small orange marabou tailed nymph (size 14) and that was obviously to there liking as i had a succesion of fish.

It was a good day shame about the bitib=ng cold wind,hopefully tomorrow will see me out on a river.

you can just see the orange nymph
