was noticebly cooler in the area around dovedale
with my cars thermometer showing 15 degrees
a whole five degrees lower than derby.
could not see many insects around but noticed
a few fish moving in the open meadow that is
the 59s stretch .carried on all the way down to
ilam rock stopping now again to have a few casts
did catch a lovely grayling which was quite a
surprise as it snaffled my olive klink at fought
like a tiger on my 6.5 foot rod which was bent
double.
as you can see from the pictures we are still only
just getting into spring with a lot more growth
needed to give the fish more cover and the
confidence to feed without caution.
managed a few trout mainly on a renegade which
as a white hackle and a ginger hackle (which i
partially cut away)which i suppose was mistaken
for the odd ldo .
seen some quite large upwings which another
angler commented on which may have been
march browns?
met charlie off the forums(dovemink) just as i
was about to pack in.sorry i had to rush off but
the wife was waiting with the rolling pin as i got
carried away, losing the track of time.
nice afternoons fishing but maybe a bit early
just yet.
