Ok, so I have a client tomorrow (25 January). I needed to have a look at the river since I have not been on this stretch since last season. You really need to know about potential hazards on a river like this. It is fast and has a few rapids that could lead to trouble.
Dan was more than keen to tag along. Dan has been fishing with me for a few years now and is pretty good at edge fishing with a bugger and casting a dry in mostly still water.
He went nymphing for his first time with me a few weeks ago on a rafting trip further up the same river. Since my client wants to cast a dry fly, I thought Dan could come along while I scout the river and work on his nymphing skills. Fish are caught in very different places with these two techniques.
We have also set a goal to catch a trout on every pattern we stock and tell you about it.
So we travelled down and Dan caught trout on at least a dozen different flies.
Just note that Dan is my mate and I am allowed to pick on him. I am trying to make him all he can be.
The video tells the story of a very successful day.
My friend, Andrew, is going to have a very good day tomorrow!
Tight lines!
