try somewhere not to far from home .
Fished the derby county angling clubs ,allestree stretch
on the derwent .Was encouraged to see fish rising as i
parked up the car.Watched the water for a few minutes
and as before elsewhere there was a few mayfly coming
off but the fish were not taking them.
started off with a balloon caddis but no takers.did
try a yellow drake mayfly as they were coming down
steadily but still no action .Put on old faithfull a tan
coloured F-fly with takes coming straight away.
After about half a dozen takes i managed to connect
with a grayling pictured below.
carried on for a while catching but missing
more grayling ,no signs of trout at all.
I was taken by surprise when my F-fly was
sucked under i struck into something that
shot up stream taking all the line that i had
out,it pulled the rod tip over and i felt a lump
on the end without any effort at all the fish
just carried on and pinged me off.
barbel ,chub ,decent grayling i will never
know i might give this place another go
when grayling are in season.
