Nothing really happened for the first hour, i tried fly after fly wet and dry but nothing, then i decided to fish deep and used i gold headed hares ear, this worked a treat as after my second cast with a slow retrieval, Bang! a small trout compared to whats in the lake but it wasn't in any mood to be caught, after about a minute it managed to get itself unhooked and i lost it, i wasn't all that bothered to be fair, i was just happy I'd found a fly that they were going for.
around two or three casts later, Bang! another awesome take, this time it was a big trout and definitely the heaviest trout I've ever hooked into, with my polarising sunglasses i could clearly see it was a whopper, after losing the first trout i wasn't so aggressive with this one, but after a minute or so again it managed to unhook itself, if you have ever lost a big fish then you will know how this feels, i wanted to scream and shout and swear like Robson green, but i don't think the lads fishing nearby would have been amused.
After that disaster struck, i got my killer fly tangled on something and lost it, the only fly i had that was catching fish and i lose it, i tried other flies but nothing.
My brother in-law had better luck using a buzzer, he hooked two, lost one, landed one, a nice plump rainbow trout.
Well i will be back, I'll be stocking up on the hares ear and will be back at chatton very shortly, i will land a monster trout before the end of the year!
the picture below is a hares ear fly.
