Tuesday in the tube

With a couple of days booked off i had a few hours on knottallow tarn the conditions were not ideal blue sky and for the most parts flat calm.

I set up and was on the water by 4.30 with a few fish topping i put on a small beetle and had a few fish out but it was slow,so i switched to a spider pattern and was into fish straight away.They wanted the fly a few inch's under the surface i lost count of the number of fish i caught,and to cap it all i caught the biggest trout i have ever caught out of knott (see pic)

p.s. thanks to Austin for taking the photo

Sat i took a trip up to knottallow looking in the catch returns book i could see the rod average is nice and high, i had a quick walk round the water and could see a few fish topping.

I opted for a f fly and a small beelte pattern  and  casting to rising fish i manged to winkle out 5 trout,Dave helm was on the opposite bank and he was into fish straight away on his way past he said he had hem all on a beetle pattern.
