The Urban Fly Fisher

I think we were being a little optimistic to think that we could start fishing at 10am and then continue right through to 10pm in the evening. If the conditions had been ideal then it would have been tough, however it was boiling hot, the water was low (good), no wind(great) and the trout were acting like fussy buggers. My usual chuck it and chance it with my parachutes were not working so I had to take advice and move down to flies that I could hardly see……taking into account how hard it is anyway spotting your fly in this kind of water…

It made for a hard but enjoyable days fishing………..although for some people it was a little too hard…

Anyway, I sit here with burnt arms, burnt neck a splitting headache and think I may have sunstroke.

I may go fishing to the Kelvin later!
