First day of the season

After having a long weekend in London, the aspect of fishing in the Upper reaches of the Eden on the opening day were too tempting.

On arriving at 9:30 at Mustgrave bridge, the wind was howling and only the bravest of fishermen were going to be fishing.

To cut along story short, the first fish was caught below Brough Beck as it enters the Eden on a green czech nymph (see below). I then met up and chatted with John Garner(KSDAA secretary) and Paul Procter (AAPGAI Trout Master) to debate tactics.



The Lack of Olives and March browns were not surprising given the weather. Snow melt and heavy wind did not making the casting easy.

A positive start to the season
