Headed out to a small local stream yesterday evening for a couple of hours fly fishing. My hopes were high as although it's usually a very hard water, with the colour in the water i was hoping the fish might be a bit easier to sneak up on. I was right Very Happy i had 2 fish in about 2 casts and over the space of a couple of hours landed 11 beautifully marked wild browns, boy do they scrap well for their size. I didn't even get the top of the stream before dark so i imagine with more time on my hands i could have had a fair few more.

Once dark i headed over to another stretch of river known for holding a few sea trout and changed tactics from upstream dry fly to down and across wet fly. Second cast and i had one of about 1lb ( not sure if i can count this on my species list ) great scrap again leaping all the way in Very Happy This was only a small one though and i was after it's mum and dad. I fished on down and although i had a couple of good plucks at my fly and heard a few jumping i didn't find the big one... next time though.

Really love small stream fishing, proper wild fish, proper wild habitat and usually Free Very Happy

It's called "POACHING" in most circles.............but who would suspect a guy who supplies the stock in the first instance....! Twisted Evil Laughing

Congrats on finding a good bag of fish (easy when you know where 'cos it was prob you that put them there.) and for finding a Sea Trout...! Very Happy
