Well at 11.00 this morning John & I carried out River Monitoring which we haven't done for 2 months mainly because we have been fishing quite a lot of times. Another member joined John on beat 6 & 7, I left because I had booked beat 9 for the afternoon so I parked up in the car park on beat 9 and waded up the beat from the hut and very quickly connected with a Rainbow on a size 16 double badger. I waded up to one of my favorite spots and caught 2 more Brownies on the same fly. I thought it was going the rain but the sun was out all afternoon. All in all a very enjoyable afternoon fishing on the River Derwent. I'm very lucky to be in such wonderfull moving water.
