Dry fly in a short hatch of March browns. Lost a big one too

First visit to this beat and we had it to ourselves. Great mix of glides and riffles. Would definitely return. Perfect spring trouting conditions, even had an upstream breeze. Temp 13-14degs. A few March browns and LDOs about but nothing that could be described as a hatch. We managed a fish each on emerger patterns. My fishing partner also had a brace on nymphs. A very nice way to kick the season off.

Extremely quiet, clear and low water.

A small hatch at 11 am made a few fish rise which then saw me loose three in a row before the net. Lucky I managed to land 4 nice trout in between loosing another couple. They fight hard here for their size and seem very good at throwing the hooks. All were between 10-13 inch and caught on the dry. I had my best luck targeting the slack water alongside the faster sections, also the shallow riffles were holding fish.

A lovely day on a nice beat.

Enough fly fishable water at this level to make a day of it. It seems everything other than a salmon wanted a taste of my fly today including a pike of about 20lbs! Released and on its way without even leaving the water.

The holding water here will surely hold some fish as the season continues. The quest for a springer continues!
