Sumer is icumen in...




This is one very effective fly if used properly
At last the summer really is here. 

Tonight was my first session with the Sherry Spinners. 

Henry had fun, with a new girlfriend! 

His best pal had fun, with lots of trout. 

The evening's Sport was brought to a sensible conclusion after a good sized hen brown trout succumbed to the temptations of the PPS, which finally came over her head on the right place on the conveyor belt at the right time (after numerous failed attempts 'cos I'm still rusty).


She had the thick lower edge of scar tissue to her tail fin that shows she has dug a few redds in her time.

    2. Hi RR.

      I find a bit of birdwatching is integral to my fishing days too,mayflies aren't just for the trout.
