26th may,dovedale,mayfly mayhem

Cracking afternoons fishing on the dove from
the dovedale carpark end.the wind was quite
brisk working my way down to the stones with
loads of people milling about i didnt really fish
till the nursery pool.started spotting the odd
mayfly being smashed into which had me reaching
for the flybox .on with a grizzly wulff straight
into action .

fished most pools on my way up to ilam rock
footbridge where i caught a couple before some
kids started chucking in rocks,ahh dumbf**ks.

made my way back downstream with the odd
shower making me hide under canopy.
the boards area was alive with fish all going
at the mayfly like it was their last supper.

worked my way down towards the nursery pool
stopping on route to speak to another mayfly
mullerer who happened to also be on the wullfs.
he reported catching a few in the short time he
had been there.

on reaching the nursery pool the fish where still
going at the odd mayfly as well as the clouds
of midges now present as the wind had died
down.still caught a load more on the wulff
which was my fly of the day.i had fished upstream
on the dove two days before with the odd mayfly
showing but the fish not being switched on to
them .brilliant days fishing with a couple of dozen
brownies wild and stock fish alike hammering the
mays. i will be back soon.
