last minute call up

Sunday morning and I was just thinking of what to do for the day and the phone went. Mike had lost his partner for the day so an offer to fish Pitsford from the boat - magic!

I started as i left off at Grafham fishing the washing line and was really hoping that Daiwl backs or snatchers would start working. An early fish on the tequila booby proved me wrong but at least I was catching. The fish seemed to have all moved off the Dam and were heading towards the narrows - the key was to fish in the middle of no where out of Brixworth bay and across to the Pines.

The fish started to come up in the water as the day went on. There were pockets of fish but those were moving around. Mike put on a woofta booby and was then catching great. It was like fishing muddlers bubbling through the waves and the big bow wave behind - great sport.

The difference for me was when I changed to a slow glass with a woofta booby on the point and a tequila FAB on the top dropper with a hopper in the middle. I this it eliminated any line disturbance and all three flies were on the surface.

I never looked back and had some great sport.
