Today, 2nd of June, i took a guest to fish at Winsham. Not a nice sort of day to start with, cold-ish and dull/overcast, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Walking downstream to the start of the beat we did see one fish rise, after fishing for about half an hour it started to get a bit brighter, rounding a bend in the river, lo and behold, a rising fish. couple of casts later and said fish was hooked, unhooked, and safely returned, another first for the guest. A little further on and another fish rose, cast to and caught, a better fish than the previous, and also safely returned to fight another day. In all 8 fish caught and all safely returned.
It later emerged that several people had taken him to fish various rivers with no success! so to get him his first! river brown trout was quite an achievement for me.
Hope you all have been catching, rather than just fishing.
