[Wild trout thin this year?]

Mayfly made a difference on my local syndicate river this week, although, even with the air being full of mayfiy from a massive hatch, only a few large trout were rising to them. Despite being in locations that were difficult to cast to, I manged to get two on the bank, breaking my duck of eight unsuccessful outings this season. Usually small wild browns are rising all over the river during a hatch, but were absent on what seemed a perfect, warm evening.

 

 

This 19 inch brown had heron damage to it's tail, but fought well and was returned when recovered.
