Lets be honest,I didnt know what to expect from a £295 a day purist dry-fly chalk-stream,I had never fished one before,but after todays short exploratory stint I am sure I will do so again,Hang the expense 3am this morning and we are on a perfectly mown river bank,deepest,darkest Hampshire and in front of us is "BEAT 3,PRIVATE FISHING" or so says the sign over which I hung my coat so I wouldnt have to look at it and have a twinge of conscience
We tackle up and are into fish straight away multitudes of half to three-quarter pound beautifully marked brownies,they were everywhere,seriously,
