Had a run up to Brampton today with a mate expectations wernt too great as the water was very cold and a 5 cormarents kicking about.
First hour went by without so much as a touch
Decided to try the fly but I picked up the wrong box this morning but was given a cats whisker. Few chucks and nothing until I got nailed by a decent rainbow trout weighing 4.5lb
Next chuck and I got snapped off by another nice rainbow and my fly was gone none left.
Another couple if hours without so much as a touch until my float shot under and started swimming away and guess what I missed the bloody thing couldn't believe it.
Decided to try and make a couple of flys using pie tins and duck feathers but didnt hook up although they look the part. Simon blanked but is eager to go again I had a try at wading and sank in the mud when I tried to move guess what happened I fell back and got my coat soaking luckily the phone was inside my waders
