Fly fishing and flying fish

[Guest Nov]

Had my first proper day fly fishing today, thanks to WAF and his mate. An early rising of 4.15am was need in order to get to the venue for 6am, Pennine fisheries near Rochdale was the water.

 

Anyways, my casting was sh1t at first but I got the hang of it after a few hours thank's to WAF's guidence :11:

WAF got the first fish after about 10 mins of fishing, he probably would have had more if he didn't have to attend to my many crow nest's (tangles).

 

I had my camera handy and I snapped a fish that had jumped out of the water and landed on the jeti

 

 

The fish were jumping all day, so I suspect that it wasn't such a rare accurence, anyhows, the trout fliopped it's way back to the water.

 

 

 

WAF caught the biggest fish of the day, a 12lb rainbow, the fecker was nearly as heavey as me :11:

 

WAF refused to handle it because of the teath it had, so I had to pose for the camera with the fish

 

I managed to catch a nice fish, didn't weigh it though, so I can't comment on the size apart from that it would have made a good meal at the last supper, honest.

 

 

 

WAF's mate caught a nice Brownie, which can be seen below.

 

 

 

 

All in all, I really enjoyed this new side of fishing for me, so expect a 'WANTED, fly fishing gear' post in the classifieds forum soon. :search:

 

Now lets get this fishing comp we talked about started, been as I'm an expert fluff flinger now!
