another trout for me on the klink before the hatch died, from then on we fished blind NZ style, where we lost and landed a few more
including a fine trout of 1lb 10 oz for Col on his new nymph
last of the day
on sunday we were back for more, arriving a wee bit earlier than yesterday we sat and waited for the hatch to get under way, soon the odd olive was coming down and we spotted the first riser of the day which took the klink
we had a great time for an hour or so targeting risers before the hatch petered out
col landed another on the nymph before we walked to have a look at another wee burn in the area, there wasn't much doing on this burn except two risers in the same pool which i put down, still it was worth investigating, maybe another time.
Nice outing. Wonderful browns.
ReplyDeleteThat Sage rod is it a Fli?
Thanks Alan, it is indeed a 7' 6" Fli , it's been a good purchase.
ReplyDeleteI have the same model Sage, it's a 7ft 3wt. They're nice rods.
DeleteVery nice looking trout there guys, I'm out tomorrow hoping for better than I've had so far this season, so what's the materials list on that nymph Col ?.
ReplyDeleteThanks Douglas , the materials i used i'm sure can be sustituted without too much or any differance in it's performance, its got a bit eye catching flash about it , just a softer nymphed up version of the glister bug really. i'll list the materials i used.
