young_london_hunter 9 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Got their at about midday, had a look around and found that fish were rising but for emergers rather than actual insects on surface. So i got a daddy long legs and 'drowned' it. I then rubbed the first 3 inches of the line with sinkant. This had the effect of fishing the dry about half a foot under the surface; worked from the start I fished it in the flow of an powerfull inlflow and caught a 4 inch wild brown trout, i released this and then I moved and casted the fly under a overhanging tree , twitched it and begin a slow jerky retrieve. First Fish on 3rd cast. I then had a dip in action, leader tangled, fly lost etc etc. Once I had recovered from this momentairy set-back, I fished a damsel nymphy slowly under the surface, had a lot of follows but all turned away (shiny goldhead may have caused this. Switched to a gold-head naturual daddy. Same thing as before turned away (also had shiny gold-head) Then went back into the old dry fly sunk with sinkant. Hooked 2 fish, lost both Minutes to go and hooked another fish, this time kept it on Took them home gutted them, filleted them for first time as usually just bake/grill them whole (for some reason been doing that for years!) Cooked them with potatoes, salad, horseradish,walnut and creme fraiche sauce . I cooked the fillets individualy with lemon, butter, salt , parsley and pepper. Absaloutely Gorgeous Ate them 4hrs after capture, Succesful Day http://hosted.drpic.com/T19JGK8G63 http://hosted.drpic.com/4U229MI1R4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
