Back on the Clyde with my Tenkara

No wind,nice and warm,intermittent clouds and a good flow of water = ideal day for my Tenkara.
My set up was a big bright klinkhammer fly as an indicator with a pheasant tailed nymph on the dropper with another one on the point.
Starting at the bottom of the 100 yard run I fan cast my way up river.
I was soon into my first fish,a 11"grayling,which took the klinkhammer.

Soon after I caught this wee brown trout, this time on the point ptn..it gave me quite a tussle on the pole,there is a knack to landing fish on the Tenkara and I haven't quite mastered it yet.
I had two runs up the stretch which produce a further mix of about 8 fish all round the same size.
Using barbless hooks I was able to release the fish easily and all swam off strongly.
It was a good days fishing and I enjoyed it.
I hope there will be many more sessions like this.

Some more Pics. from Canada

Here I am,all ready to do a spot of birdwatching-hope I don't scare them off with my attire.
I wondered why there wasn't many people around,it was mid day and the temperatures were in the mid 70F-should have looked at the mozzie alert.The little buggers bit me everywhere-so it was back under cover--fast.

My daughter and her new arrival standing by the pond in Ojibway Nature Reserve just before we were nearly eaten my mosquitoes.

My little grandson, with his teacher,at the end of his first year at pre-school.

I had a great 3 weeks with my daughter and family in Canada.They made me really welcome and I will miss them." See you all next year--byeeeee.

Back in Scotland on my favourite river Clyde. A nice little brown trout caught on a wee dry fly-hope I catch many more.
