Return From The Nith

Back from the Nith without any major success, river was really low and conditions throughout the 3 days were blazing sunshine and really hot, given some rain and you can imagine the river being full of fish.
Still we were there and made the most of it, spent some time each day working on various double handed casting techniques which hopefully will become invaluable later in the year.

There were plenty of small grayling, brownies, sea trout and parr about to keep you on your toes with the odd decent fish mixed in.

Back out each night for a few hours but even the few big pulls failed to result in a fish to the net, strange it was almost as if they were just hitting the tails of the fly and off.


Took time out on Tuesday to do a quick lesson with one of the staffs sons, he got the grip with the casts very well.

A few pointers for another of the hotel regulars on the Wednesday before I packed up and headed back down the motorway.

Last few days has been busy with repeat lessons as well as continuing my own development with the double handed rod.
