Mayfly hatches were in full swing on many highland waters when Brian and Christopher came fishing back in February.
Both enjoyed learning new loch-style skills and reading and fishing to conditions on the lakes. Well placed and timely casts paid high dividends.
Many exciting moments, including a new spinner pattern designed to have fish jump into the boat succeeded for 5 good fish in the next hour. Here’s an example of some fine browns and rainbows.

This chunky rainbow engulfed Ray’s mayfly pattern on Penstock Lagoon. This was in early February. Penstock has been rather consistent over the season, and it’s good to see a bit more water in it over the last few weeks.
With very calm conditions on Arthurs Lake the browns are close to the shore on mayfly spinner, but only when there’s cloud cover. Ray is pretty happy with this wild brown trout.

Art had a second day fly fishing in Tasmania, this time on a river in the south.
Landing 6 fish and seeing a platypus feeding for several minutes were highlights of the day.
Love this pic of Art in action!
