1st July 2010

1st July, hard to believe, squalls all day plus hail, so much for summer.  Fish are not showing or taking well, saw one in the air, raised one and  (2) grilse were landed one on a "shady lady" the other on a "White Butt Green Machine" derivative.

We saw 1/2 dozen fish in the evening and even had a couple rise to the fly but unable to hook one.  Clients fished Gray Rapids for part of the day and report the same thing happening, lots of  fish with only the odd one taking.

A reminder we have 19-20-21st July open due to a cancellation and there should be fish around.
