River Fishing

Today was my first trip on the rivers of 2011. The conditions were not great with a strong north wind and bright sunshine. And even though we have had a lot of rain, the water was crystal clear.

I tried several pools with no success. I also tried many different flies. But after 2 hours no luck. So I went into a deep pool and tied on a small Mary, and sure enough after 10 minutes 2 fish followed in quick succession.

So overall it wasn't a bad first trip.

100 fish haul

Hi Guys

what a day it has been.

Me and my dad went fishing to the local small still water today and it was a day I will never forget.
We started of on intermediates and small mini lures. It wasn't long before I was into fish (first cast).
After this they just kept coming thick and fast, and because i was using two flies I was regularly getting double hook ups. We then mover round the lake only to find an even bigger pod of fish. Except this time there were some bigger ones mixed in.

We kept on fishing till around 4 o'clock when we had to go but we had been consistently catching all day. The final score was 30 fish to my dad and 100+ to me.

Non of this would be possible without my dad taking me or WADAA for supplying some great fishing.
