'DW Fly Fishing & Tying':
Pursuing the UK's wild trout and grayling with the fly
Thursday 18 March 2010
Seasons changing
We are almost there - time to put the thought of grayling to one side and allow the prospect of trout to take centre stage. Lighter evenings will soon be with us - and that signifies the start of the trout season...
Andy - that is indeed a Danielsson - and it is the midge. I bought two last year, mainly for their simplicity. I think they look great too though ;) These are used now more than my Lamsons. They take a #2 and #3 perfectly and seem to offer the perfect balance from my 6' #2 rods right through to my 10' #3. Love them!

Hi Dave,
Is that a Danielsson reel in the bottom photograph???
Someone put me on to the midge version recently... something else.
Out of my budget league, but a simply beautifully engineered reel.
Best,
Andy
Bring on the good weather! hope the snow melts fast down low, and slow up high!! happy fish willing to eat alot of food and get big big big
