MAYFLY BONANZA
What a contrasting weekend yesterday was a lovely day we were at the races in York-3 winners from 7 races ! Today I managed to cut the lawn before the rain spots, and this afternoon I booked beats 9/10 when I arrived there were loads of mayfly around and the
fish were definitely on to them, as I walked down to the river I noticed a rise just at the
top of beat 8, so I walked down the beat and waded up to a good casting spot. I put on a size 12 mayfly one up one down, I got this pattern from my good friend Baslowfisher. It is a cracking fly. I cast up stream about a meter about the spot and waited then wallop this rainbow took the fly what a fabulous fish over 2lbs. I then walked up beat 9 to one of my favourite spots and
the mayfly were still everywhere I had 4 more Brownies on the mayfly before the rain started
and it hasn't stopped since than.
