Monday 26th March

Another very sunny day as it has been for the last 2 or 3 days. Prospects are reasonable but you may want to bring along your intermediate line to add some versatility to your fly presentation and to add a bit of depth. Nathan had the most fish yesterday and was using this set up.

Intermediate lines vary in quality just like all other lines but all should sink at a rate of 1.0 to 2.0 inches per second. I really like the Greys Platinum clear intermediates or slime lines as they are called. They sink uniformly along the length you have cast which is very important to eliminate slack so you don't miss takes

I went up to Hardy/Greys HQ last Friday to test all the rod and reel ranges now available - for a full report look at my other blog Fly Fishing Instructor. You will be able to read which rods I have chosen and will using for all my lessons and guiding this year.
