Default The Eyebrook

had a half day ticket at eyebrook yesterday. enjoyed it a lot, plenty of fish moving just under the surface.
the wardens were helpful as always, trouble is don't get chance to go as much as i would like.
caught most of my fish on a size 10 black coves pheasant tail nymph.
missed loads of fish due to me being so out of practice. reactions very slow....
maybe i should start on some computer games to speed em up?
even though lots were moving caught all mine about a foot down. will try again soon i hope.

cheers , dave

p.s. snapped my western 3 rod whilst casting, 2nd time i have used it. good job had a spare with me...

liked the western 3 a lot till it snapped. puts a long line out, fast action and very light.
orvis shop at stamford are going to swop it for me, very helpful.

Don't forget to say "hi" to Martha when you go in there - that's Mrs Pirate !

did speak to martha. very helpful and got me another rod in the shop within 4 hours. thats service.
stewart is a lucky man. did not realise that martha is his wife . she wanted to know how the rod broke not to apportion blame but for quality control reasons.
lets hope the airflo line i bought from him does not break too

cheers , dave
