Early trout season on the Clyde
That's me giving it a wee cast on the first pool at Wolfclyde Bridge
A visitor from Holland playing a nice trout which he tempted on a small dry fly.
After a tentative fight he successfully landed a brownie weighing just under 2lb.
Summer fishing at its best-the Upper Clyde has many trout of this size but you need to get it right to be successful.
Match the hatch-find the fish-- then with an accurate cast - drift your fly at the speed of the current over the rise.
Another visitor enjoying the fishing --- a nice trout-- one of many he caught using a wee Clyde style dry fly.
An end of season brownie tempted on a small beaded nymph.
Into the cold months and its grayling time.
A fine sized fish--one of 6 caught by my fishing chum Garry.
Another year has nearly past on the Clyde.
There is just December to go and hopefully there is going to be some settled weather so I can venture out on the river.
See if I can add to my blog--
Maybe a 3lb grayling?
I managed to net two nice grayling, this one 43cm long --just under 2lb I would think.
Its nice to have great fishing on your doorstep.
