Opening day of the season, just had a pleasant few hours on the lower section. Good hatch of olives – LDO and Iron Blue. Not many fish rising though. Had two on dries – red quill klinkhamer and LDO cripple.
Nice fish Alistair. I managed two and a half hours earlier today (23rd), trout not up to your standard! But 4 beauties none the less. Had two cracking grayling though, they’re really piling on the weight now, I guess that they are the original stockies? Like you I saw a huge hatch but only saw one rise. Tight lines all.
They just keep coming! Caught 2 today and lost another. Not the 16″ fish of the other day but still well conditioned big fish. Had 11 trout as well on a mixture of dry and nymph.
Nice pics. I was out on opening day for 3hrs too. Agree on the good hatch of olives. Had three on dry comparadun. Great to be out with the fly rod again…
