A mixed day 28/4

my local trout stream Bright sunshine but a cold start i fished NZ style without so much as a sniff , i was surprised not to get any fish even from the heads of the pools, and was even more surprised not to see a riser as there were lots of hawthorn flies in evidence and one or two upwings hatching. At 2pm it was like someone had thrown the switch and finally i got some sport. the first fish took a black klink hammer.A lovely yellow fish.

  The odd brookdun was coming down so i put on a big comparadun , it worked to a degree in the faster water, but in the bits where the current fizzled out a curved cdc was a better option.

Unfortunately i had to leave at 3pm.
