My good friend John invited me across to fish the Yorkshire Derwent for 2 days although they had rain earlier in the week the general water level in between the pools was very low all the fish were
hiding to the pools. The weather has been very sunny on Thursday & Friday. On Thursday we starting fishing around 10.30 and caught 2 nice brownies on size 16 LDO dry it wasn't easy unless
you managed to find some shade under the trees and managed 3 more small brownies in the afternoon. the bird life in that beautiful valley is outstanding whilst fishing 3 kingfishers flew past,
and there were loads Dippers, Grey Wagtails. We stayed at John's flat in Filey on Thursday night
and had a fabulous meal out just along the road on the front. We didn't start on Friday until
11.30 ish it was so hot and sunny and when we arrived there was just no activity on the water. I
tackled up and walked up stream for quite a way and there was nothing happening so i walked back
and followed John below the bridge but again there nothing, so we had a early lunch and started
again about 14.00 John Caught a Rainbow and a brownie I didn't connect with anything all day.
But the 2 days rest and catching up on old times was great fun and very enjoyable.
