Starting to get a few fish now.Don't know whether my angling skills are improving or the river is fishing extra well,perhaps a bit of both.
Since my return from Canada I have been down to the river quite often, and although I haven't caught any whoppers I am pleased a the number of trout I have landed. The grayling have also been showing their face,not biggies but all about the 11" mark. See if I can get some big ones when the trout season ends in October.
A nice wee grayling which popped up amoungst the trout.
I have been fishing the duo,which is a bushy type fly on the bob, which acts as a indicator and a weighted nymph on the point. You therefore have two chances-one if the trout takes the indicator and the other when it takes the nymph.
When there are no fish rising I discard the bob fly and use a pimp instead. I then fish up to 3 nymphs under it.
I think I am now starting to get the knack of fly fishing and I am looking forward to future successes.
A bold statement I know! but hopefully Ive cracked it.
