phew, I wonder I really do

12 September, 2003 by Alistair

You know, I wonder sometimes whether people i meet are actually fishing the same River as i do. I ran into a bloke today , he asked me how many fish i had caught. I said i had caught a few and the biggest was just shy of half a pound …….he said nothing of any real size then ……what River is he fishing …….the Spey? a chalkstream down in England…..same thing happened the other day when i caught all thos other fish…..two blokes said ach they were just wee yins……..BLOODY EEJITS they were nice fish….and in fact the best fish you are likely to catch on the river…….unless of course you do get one of those fish that make you go ooooohhh every now and again. I caught one at about a pound and half a month and a half ago…..Superb!!!!
Anyway……this was where i caught the first two trout

I trundled a little Butcher through the weeds…….great sport

and here

I was just using a single little green winged wet fly and let it trundle round. I couldnt really do much else as the trees were pretty bad.

I could tell you where that is but if ive got to scramble through bushes to find stretches then so should you 😉

Ach mail me and i may tell ya
