April Start

My brother and I had an excellent day sharing a rod a week ago on the Lower Water. The grannom were hatching in large numbers although the trout as usual were reluctant to show themselves this early in the season. However, in bright sunshine and clear water we managed to pick up close to a dozen fish with several to the dry fly, making this our best April start in a few years. We also missed a few but that is always the way with the first trip. Best flies were my brother’s CDC & Elk grannom and the usual nymphs, small PTN in particular.

Attached few shots to brighten the blog.

All the best,
Doug
