Evening Rise (at last)
Had a very memorable evening fish with my good friend Adrian, who is down for a weeks fishing. We bumped into the Chairman who was enjoying the carrier, catching a few fish on a large humpy pattern. There were already spinners in the air and one rested on my rod for a while.
We had a chat and I continued fishing the carrier with a large GRHE and was surprised when a 10″ trout launched himself at the fly, after a short battle he was released.
In the next pool a good hefty 14″ trout took the fly. This was lot more hectic in such a small stream, I also had a few more smaller fish on my way up. I was now up to a hatchpool, always the home of a large trout. I wasn’t wrong second cast I was attached to a 2lb+ fish – this is when you think “I should have brought my landing net” – Ping he was off – dam!
I then wandered over to watch Adrian catch two good fish as the light disappeared – it had been a great nights fishing with plenty of rising fish to catch.
The Club
The Club is a private one, founded in 1877, of approximately sixty-four members and six Town Rod subscribers. The Club’s waters consist of about 12 miles of wild brown trout & grayling fishing in the main River Frome, River Cerne and River Piddle, together with attendant carriers and side streams. The waters extend both above and below the town of Dorchester and the Club employs a part-time keeper.
