Del and Jack

It's been a long while but i gave Jack a Fly Fishing experience for his birthday and Del came along as official "net girl". After a quick casting lesson in the front of the lodge he picked it up really quick so off we went and being afloat on Pitsford was an experience itself.

It was good weather and after the dog days of summer it had been fishing well in cloudy conditions. However today was forecast to get a bit bright so we had to get going quick. And we did but it was me with one first cast off the dam on a Red Daiwl Bach. I was hopefull if it stayed like this it would be good.

However the day just got brighter and harder and the fish slowley turned off. I managed to pick up another as we drifted towards the boils but i couldnt manage to get jack his first trout. It was a great day and as a carp fisherman he is used to not catching so spirits were not dampened and we will try again
