This Month's Tip

River fishing with upstream dry fly or nymph is to many the real fishing experience. It is suprising where fish can be found.

There are many small rivers that were once highly polluted which now support a head of small brown trout or grayling. These should be looked after and returned with care. Use barbless hooks as a standard. Given time, these fish will grow and provide truly excellent sport if they are given the chance.

So handle them carefully using a net kept in the water and always wet your hands before touching them. Place them in the water head upstream and hold them lightly until they can swim away.
