The Bream Reaper 103 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 After having a decent fresh fly session on Sunday ( http://www.strikehook.com/forum/23-freshwater-fishing/256055-after-rain-fresh-fly-flick ) I got the opportunity to head back out to the same spot on Monday (should give been doing housework, don't tell my wife!).Ended up with a similar bag to the day before, with a rainbow and reddy coming to play. My mate also connected with a fiery brown however this spat the fly back into his face. I dropped the same rainbow not once but twice as well, once heading down stream with a wooly bugger, and one heading upstream on the nymph.... He will be mine at some stage.Both fish were caught on a hares ear nymph suspended under a dry.Enough talk, here's the pics (thanks to R Vozzo for the cool pics) Ale, piratepom, Ugly4Life and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fished out 0 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Slaying the fish down there! It is certainly running a lot clearer than my local walk to.The nymph and dry, do you just let them go with the current or twitch and squiggle to give it a little movement?

I have fished 3 and 4 weight, between 7'6" and 9 foot and I have no major issues with trees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
