The weather at the fishery was glorious this weekend, the unseasonal weather was more like a hot July afternoon and with the water temperature still a little high I wast expecting great things. After fishing a competition hear last weekend where I hadn't done particularly well, I opted for something a little different from my normal approach.. .opting for a 9ft6 rod with a 7wt Rio grand floating line a two fly cast on Hanak 6lb cast of around 15ft and a box of traditional wets and spiders. The emphasis was on enjoyment and the pace wasn't exactly rushed I made my way down to the lake after a leisurely coffee and chat with Jamie and Chris.
The first fish fell to a size 14 Copper King spider on the point and after a short fight a pristine
condition Rainbow
trout of around the 2lb mark slid over the net in front of the lodge.
After a short move to the large middle platform a second fish this
time a picture postcard Brown trout swallowed my hot orange and olive
spider on the dropper as soon as the cast hit the water, next cast
saw another fish a rainbow of the same stamp as the first take the
point copper king again. The rest of the afternoon was very hard I
tried various wets teal and blue mallard and claret but a change back
to the copper king brought two more lovely rainbows to the net and I
was very happy. Morgan had a good day taking his first Brown pictured
below and a Rainbow on his own tied egg flies.
