First time fly fishing

Valium ????

Flyfishing for a beginner can be very frustrating but worth it in the end.

Just got back in. i f*cking loved it! Caught a 2 1/2 lber and the guy i went with had three. No disasterous tangles or other screw ups and i wasnt a whole lot worse than some other people there which is not bad as the first time i picked up a fly rod was yesterday

 

Got your pics too Mackem, although i used Amy's camera so i have to wait til she comes in to post them.

Hmm .... now your asking We used a few during the day. The one i caught on had a white tail, silver and black body and silver eyes. My mate had one on the same fly and and the other two on one with opposite colours, black tail, white and silver body and silver eyes. We also tried white and olive nymphs which they would follow but not take and a blood worm which they ignored! Cheers

£26 for 2 fish ticket or £31 for 3 fish. They have a web site www.chalksprings.co.uk it think but try google.

 

Not sure that its open at night though

[mackem 26,044]

No good for me then,night time or nothing,but it certainly looks like it would be dark and secluded once the sun goes down £26 is beyond my means sadly,I wonder if they accept pro-rata payments
