I did some fly fishing on the Ribble today with guide Mike Roden. I started off fishing New Zealand style with a goldhead pheasant tail and a balloon caddis. I soon had two fish to the net on the nymph, and also a salmon parr. I missed a few more and missed one on the dry.





Then we switched over to downstream and upstream spiders and I had this one that was getting on for 2lb.

Me in action

Good on you.
Easy eh!
Not all days are as good, some are even better.

did i read 'first'? these are pretty impressive troots, excellent stuff

Nice fish Kcon1!

Is that the Mitton beat? I've only fished there once, it was very low and I blanked. Seeing those fish makes me want to try again.

Well done.

Lovely fish - that sounds like a great day!

Yep it was at Mitton a bit further upstream than the day ticket stretch.

Good lad! Now leave those stockies alone won't you!
