I fished the Wylye on Sunday, showing a Swedish visitor, Gustav, this gem of a river. We were treated to a short spell of the fish taking Mayfly:

Plenty of spinners amongst the tree tops:

Notice the grey skies towards the evening which resulted in a substantial downpour - unexpected since the weather had been fine, warm and sunny for much of the day.

A Mohican Mayfly, tied by Gustav, produced some positive reactions from the fish:


Throwing a little slack into the cast allowed a longer, drag-free drift (note the large mayfly imitation):


... and eventually a take:


More pictures soon.

Guess you were fishing on Sunday, it hosed down on the LRA as well. Looks like these pictures were taken on the lower end of the beat, a tough stretch to fish. Were you wading in slippers?
