Ater posing for the camera for about an hour, I selected the shot I liked and told him to go ahead with the painting.
Here I am posing, just downstream of Wolfclyde Bridge.
He said that the painting should be ready in about a months time.
I'm looking forward to seeing it hanging on my wall.
Anyway Andy left and I tackled up to do some proper fishing.
I decided to go a little bit upstream to a spot I had caught some trout last time out.
I opted to go with the "french leader tactics" using a cast of 3 nymphs--- 2 grhs and 1ptn-- all size 12.
There was still a bit of extra flow in the river, so I pinched on some lead shot to get the flies to fish near the bottom.
Things started a bit slow and in the first couple of hours I had only managed 2 wee trout and a couple of bump-offs.
A quick move to another spot proved productive and I managed half a dozen lovely plump brownies two of which must have easily been over the pound mark.
My last fish
A nice end to my day on the Clyde.
