I crossed the river and only walked a very short distance before I spotted a school of Grayling and a very large Brown Trout tucked in against a bunch of weed.
I ran a weighted nymph past the pod of grayling a couple of times without a single reaction from those fish That was until the fly drifted by that resting Brown, a flash and it was on, but not for very long because the huge fish simply headed for the weeds and it was all over.
Nice story by Mick Hall regarding his long journey to the fabled waters of the River Test. Isn’t the picture as idyllic as you would ever want? There is sometimes pleasure in paying for privilege and access…if one can afford it. If you can travel from Australia to England, you can probably make it happen. Very inviting piece by Mr. Hall and the Kossiedun is a very informative site re Australian entomology and fly fishing within the region and beyond.
