A Good Afternoon

Today i had an enjoyable afternoon fishing on one of my favourite shropshire rivers. Although the water was low and clear, it fished well with plenty of trout taking a size 16 copper tungsten-head pheasant tail nymph, tied by fellow blogger Mick.



The nymph was as usual, fished under a Klinkhammer pattern, but only a couple of trout fell to the dry fly.



It is surprising the head of trout these small rivers hold, and this time, a brace of chub and a perfect plump roach.

I am not sure what this c**p was leaking out of the pipe.
