River Itchen

This weekend I was lucky enough to fish at the famous lower Itchen fishery. It was a fantastic day and the sun was shinning, but unfortunately after the rain, the water was not as clear as usual. Despite this, I set up with high hopes, with a french leader, a pink jig on the point and a PTN variant.

 By lunch I had 10 fish which was a little disappointing, so I tried a different fly on the point. What do you know, I start catching lots of fish. The final count was 35 fish and that made me one of the top rods for the day.

To top a fantastic day off, Sky Sports were there filming for their fishing show 'Tight Lines', this will be shown at 7pm on Friday on Sky Sports 4. Finally thanks to all the people who made it happen and to my dad or taking me.

Hi All
Last Saturday was a great day all round. I got some fantastic new materials from Flytek and  some new flies from Unique Flies. I also purchased some fantastic new fluorocarbon from Snowbee. And to top it all of Tony Riley and Paul Proctor gave a great demonstration on river casts.
