That last fish is a cracker, you'd do well to get a better one on the Usk tomorrow. What were they taking?

Hi Sewinbasher
The fish were taking LDO's .........interestingly though, many were ignoring the duns, and taking either crippled duns or nymphs / emergers.

Take no notice of Kieron.........Got his hair off......had to go to College today

Was an even bigger fish rising, though couldn't get him to take, eventually put him down!

Kieron says he's going down to get him tomorrow

Here's a couple more pics just got off Allen:

Bushy... you are a bad bad man posting those gorgeous trout. As my wife used to say to me... "Bloody Hell! That's massive!"
