Well took a run to the river tonight....but it wasn't as good as i'd hoped only rose two trout and caught one on a size 16 ASSASSINE...which took to the air and on the third jump was gone...!!
Ah well ,good to see some trout moving and hopefully get back out next week as the level drops.
Seriously considering a 6ft rod for the likes of this river!!!
Took a break from working on bikes and headed out to see the river....Nice surprise sitting at 3 on the marker and running clear with just a slight colour to it....yee haa that's me back for a throw tonight...much like Telf i prefer the different challenges that a river brings.......like trying not to lose all my flies up trees or far bank vegetation..!!

Corbet Lake 08/04/10






We had a great time on Corbet Lake with loads of fish all returned. Not a bad day for me to start my season even though we're one month in. Cant wait untill the rivers get back into order and we can start fishing for wild brownies on light gear.

Well i actually did get out last week, as the sun broke through giving us a fairly good day
i took myself to Corbet Lough for opening day.
A fair few guys were out on the banks but i got myself a quiet spot and cast a short line out...thump thump fish on...whaaa....this is not like me....nice overwintered fish about two pounds..forgot how well they fight,
Good start me thinks...two more casts into another...then another about three pounds...
So the day carried on like this with well over twenty fish landed and returned..a cracking days fishing.
Sinking line slow retrieve size ten lure.
Sorry no pics as the batterys run out in the car park...Doh!!!
Not to worry me and Telf should be there this week and hopefully get some pics.
