After school fish at Bourley. Mayflies were hatching so started with mayfly nymph with no luck. Changed position and changed to grey wulff and caught 4 trout!

Fishing with Peter. 2 takes, no fish landed. Tried cat’s whisker, damsel nymph and diawl bach.

Back in May I took out a subscription to Trout Fisherman magazine to take advantage of their free fishing rod offer. I’ve been enjoying the magazine, learning lots. After the requisite 28 working days it still hadn’t arrived, so I phoned to see what was going on – to be told that they had sent it on the 7th of May! They agreed to send another and it arrived today before I went to work.

Peter has invited me to Bourley tomorrow, so I made some flies in readiness
Olive damsel nymphs based on a pattern in this month’s Trout Fisherman and
Cats whiskers based on a gwent angling video - look for the cats whisker.
I tried gold eyes on one, and smaller silver ones on the other. I’m happier now the body is the right colour, although I’m aware that the fish may not agree!

I haven’t got the right colour fritz to make a traditional cats whisker, but I tried with this dark one.
The end result was a bit fluffy (and nothing like the whiskers on my cats!)
