Weather watching

Fishing over at Ravensthorpe today on a morning boat and I spent all the time watching the clouds. As the sun went behind up came the fish and when it came out down they went. It was frustrating but as you can see there was plenty of cloud around, in patches.

I was fishing a size 16 hares ear klinkhammer on the point and size 14 hares ear and black and peacock spide on the dropper. It was great dry fly fishing when the fish were up. I managed 4 fish and a number of other takes including this nice rainbow.

Perhaps i am lacking a little patience, but it's strange how you go for ages and then the sun goes behind the cloud, a fresh cast and bang your into a fish. There were a number of buzzers coming off but they were a bit small hense the small flies.

Very pleasant and good practice for the river later in the week.
