Good night

[easky]

Had a good night on the river last night, landed 6 up to about 3.5lbs and lost another couple at the net. All nice fish and all but one over 2lbs. The first time this season that I have been there and the fish have 'been on'. At one point I saw dollies chasing fry into the shallows, never seen that before!

here's some pixs and then all were released



the best fish with a tail like a shovel, fought like stink and for a while I thought it might be a grilse. Great craic on the 8.5ft 5# rod









the other night I also caught one of these, its been a few years since I actually hooked up with one

Good Stuff Easky, top pic is a lovely fish, like a Sea Trout.

cheers Allen, they really are beautiful fish and as you say many are very sea trout like

I have found that some of the early fish are like that. Have hooked them and thought they where sea trout because they tend to spend more time in the air when hooked just like sea trout

Stevie Munn got a nice silver fish about 4.5 lb last night and Tommy got one about the 3 lb mark, nice to see them about even when they arent showing, gives us learners a bit of encouragement.

good to see a few fish about, hopefully we will get some rain over the next few days and bring a few more in

Touched for one myself last night, nice wee fish about the 2lb mark.

I was on the river last night and saw a few nice fishing showing. Talked to 1 guy who had netted 3 around the 3lb mark...

I'll have to look at tying up some new flies as I aint having much luck

Weather forcast is for heavy rain over the weekend

good to hear of a few fish about and hopefully this rain (if it arrives!) will bring a few more in

Just after you left last night Easky I tightened into what felt like a nice fish. Felt like it had a bit of power in it. It ended up swimming right over to the lip of the weir and I was just trying to hold onto it when the hook came out. Wasnt one of the monsters, but certainly felt stronger than the Dollies I have hooked. A few of the boys I was speaking to said it might have been a salmon, never know now lol. Ah well, God willing there will be others.

really bad luck Allen and sounds like it was a decent fish, still better to have lost and all that. I'm sure the next one will stick
