A very enjoyable evening on the Bristol Avon spent in the company of newly acquainted fishing pal Graham who also enjoys fly fishing the river for Coarse fish. We were fishing a new stretch (for me) and had numerous Chub. Graham let me use one of his latest creations (basically a large foam beetle) which worked wonders for the Chub who seemed to find it irresistible. Graham mainly fished a popper hoping for a Pike or Perch but they all seemed to be a bit shy that day! Still, I learnt a lot fishing with Graham who is far more experienced than I at fly fishing for Coarse fish and I can’t wait to try out the new deadly fly somewhere else!

The Flying Tench

Very interesting. Would you say the catch was higher with the beetle fly than with, say, maggots or bread? Sounds a great way of fishing, though with many of the chub swims I know you'd have to be a good fly fisherman. I fear I'd catch the trees!
