I received an order of flies from Spiders Plus last week and it has got to be said, they are superb.
Well done Phil without doubt the best i have seen, so today it was off up the Ledwyche to try them out.
On my last visit here, during the Mayfly season, some very beautifully marked trout were caught, mostly on a dry fly.
So walking downstream with fish rising on went a small P/T nymph under a Klinkhammer, this duo is often an unbeatable combination on these smaller rivers.
The river was low and clear and so the trout were easily spooked, especially in the more shallow areas.

However i caught plenty of very nice fish, heavily spotted with golden flanks and fins, typical of the Ledwyche. Most of the trout took the small nymph with only a couple rising to the Klink.
A pleasant surprise was four Roach and a Chub also falling for the nymph, the first Roach i have taken on the fly.
This piece of water is tree lined almost throughout and i am sure this helps on bright days, as it was today, giving the fish plenty of cover and the confidence to feed.
