Rain and Nymphs

September 2nd, 2006 · 2 Comments · Other River Fishing!!

Short and to the point report.
Went fishing, caught a few fish to the dry fly even though it was raining. Alex caught a trout to his nymph which he got exited about (nearly drowning himself getting to my side of the river to show me it I might add)
caught on nymph
Telephoned Emmanuelle who agreed with me that as it was caught on a nymph under a sacrificial dry fly it didnt count, he might as well as been using bait. Next time he goes down it will be bubble float and maggot I imagine !
back
Secretly I shall be getting into some of that nymph action :)

    Hmmm what techniques are you using on the Busbie ? I would not mind coming over there at some point and checking it out, maybe next season ?
