Had a few hours on the Dee this weekend, the conditions appeared perfect, mild, overcast with a decent hatch. Unfortunately the River was up, and very dark and cold - the Trewern was being topped up to helpt the canoeists  Didn't help the cause much - still managed 7 Grayling to the Dry and bugs, swimswim had 4 and a few parr. Managed to loose a couple of nice fish again - story of my season! Anyway a clonker from the Dee    Until the next time - will have to get up mid week when they aren't compensating the Trewern Hoppy  |

Friday saw Daz, TT, swimswim and me on the Dee.
The weather was kind to us and the water in fairly good condition.
I started with bugs and a spider had some small fish straight away. TT started with the dry and lost a very nice fish in the first hour.
The fishing was far from easy, but in the end we did well - i managed 3 fish around the 1.5lbs mark, but the fish of the day went to Daz & TT who had 42cms fish at the same time.
Again we all caught fish, but not what we would have expected from the beat we fished.
I did loose a nice fish late in the day, that threw the hook in mid air - DAZ estimated that it was over two pounds - but it wasnt meant to be for me!
I really enjoyed the day and it was a pleasure to see DAZ have his personal best grayling!
Hoppy ;D

Superb day out, and great to be out on the Dee once more - albeit on one of Hoppy' private stretches (friend of a friend and all that ). I'm sure that he took us the long way round to confuse us! Cracking bit of water though, nice mix of glides and riffles, with a very good head of grayling. Here are a few pics from the day: Two 42cm fish caught at the same time! With Hoppy looking cream crackered after the previous night's scrumpy! ;D    TT. |
