 It's been a couple of months since my last upload onto YouTube and that's largely because of the passing of my dear friend and fellow coach John Proctor who passed away back in February. John helped thousands of people get into fishing, mostly disadvantaged people, not just through fishwish projects but through some of his own work with Leonard Cheshire and projects. He'll be sorely missed. So although I've not fished much, my efforts to get Wessex Water's sewage discharge noticed by more has been successful. I really hope this encourages other anglers to act when they see pollution. Anyway, onto the fishing. In this vid I'm down at Wimbledon Lake with my friend Ian, fly fishing for rainbow trout. Small by this fishery standards. Well done. I'm determined one year to come here and catch a fish for you, dude, but... My first Wimbledon trout of 2023 caught on a filthy booby. Next I try and catch up in the water using a buzzer and a merger suspended between a midgetip on a floating line and a dry fly caddis pattern. Leaders only about 12, 13 foot long find it easier on a kayak to have quite a short leader. And fishing these droppers just means you've got to keep a nice open loop. It's a snowy six weight floating line with a, I think it's an airflow midgetip or ghost tip. Look at that. Three foot long I think. He's just number two on the buzzer. I guess it's a nymph really. He's taking all the door fighting fit. He's off. If you're wondering what on earth I'm playing at here, bear in mind I'm sat on a kayak. I can't lean back any further and my neck is tied to a leash on the left hand side so I can't reach out of the net any further. Shit, now I'm in trouble. Comedy. I'm here the outfall. And we're sat just behind that tree. What's the problem is that it's got some forceps to it. Just nipped in the lips at the top. And I thought I was going to lose it because my point fly got caught on a net hanging in by a thread. Goofy fish. It's set and go. See you at the time for a pie. Very pleasing. Got my new toy. I hope he links. Got it because it can be thrown on top of the car without any effort. It's about half the weight of my outback and you can walk up and down on it obviously. I haven't ventured that far yet.
