Feedback & Reports

I participated in the organised wild stream day and teamed up with Clive from London whom I met last year. The day was warm and bright with little in the way of breeze. We saw plenty of fly life, but little in the way of rises. Clive caught two trout, but I only managed two enquiries, one on a killer bug and one on a Kite Imperial, neither stuck. Persevering with dries for too long was perhaps foolish, but a very enjoyable day in fine company was reward enough.

WUF Wild fish day. One trout caught

Good day out, well organised and with practical advice but alas no fish.
Many thanks.

What a cracking day on a beautiful spring day. Started a little later than normal as it was due to be cold early. Arrived on water at 1000hrs to find a few stoneflies and March browns on the wing so started with a parachute March brown of my own design with a small Prince nymph suspended from it. Two smallish fish in the first run, one to each fly. A few missed takes on the March brown then ldos started to hatch so I switched to a solitary olive f fly that produced many more fish and just as many missed. Finished till four as I had other commitments, but the fish were still rising. Biggest being about 16" thank you.

As part of the LAFA day. Two of us fished Whittern. Excellent instruction and enthusiastic guides. Fished klink and dink from about 12.00. No rising fish, and water slightly coloured. Air temperature cool. At about 3.00pm had two rises to the klinkhammer so snipped off the bead head nymph and then landed two trout, beautiful,although they would not have given a sardine a size complex!
Glorious day in fantastic countryside. Well organised although perhaps next year drawing lots for beats might be faster for those of us fishing on our own.
