Alistair, yes still bump into them and do explain they need a permit but when you say you have just spoken to the bailiffs you don’t usually see them on the way back down the river.Scotty9 can you imagine it a yellow may with a beard. What would you use to tie that fly?

Alan, you’re a brave man. I can see something in the near future resembling the guy at the end of men in black….

Alistair, no stomach cramps or vomitting as yet , so all’s fine with the inner man, in fact i feel somewhat energised and at a distinct advantage over the fish now !! Seriously, it was an enjoyable night and good to have a wander on that part of the river and scout out potential pools for hwen the conditions are better. I’ve certainly noticed that the trout have been much more switched on to the yellow may duns than in previous seasons

Hey Jim – aye – got it up where “I think” you have met Alan a couple of times – I take it you fished the vet school area?

You ever see lots of people fishing above the vet school – ie. folk without permits?

Nice fish did you get it at that good stretch of water where the good size fish are. Fished up where I live Tuesday night only got two but at the same time. One about 4inchs on the point fly Hare’s Ear nymph and one about 6inchs on the dropper Greenwells spider line was going all over the place. Spent the rest of the night talking to Willie the bailiff and some of the other guys and watching some big fish rising where we had been fishing.
