Croftonblade   10 #1 Posted April 20, 2014 Me and the lad had a go fly fishing on the upper Don the other afternoon- I managed to catch a nice grayling but no trout. We're not regular fly anglers but it at least gets us back fishing on the river. Lots of small white flies were on the river so I used the smallest dry white fly I had and got a take almost straight away. Lots of fish taking flies off the surface for just a short period of time, then it went quiet with just a couple of risers. Anyone else been on there with the flies?

charliewag   19 #3 Posted April 20, 2014 I see a few fly anglers regularly on the stretch of the Don near where I live and although they do fish drys they have more success with nymphs fished upstream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Jon26 Â Â 10 #5 Posted April 22, 2014 Is the cryptic comment implying confiscation because certain types of fishing are not allowed at certain times of the year? Â If so please could you clarify what they are and when etc.. I'd be interested to know, not that I plan going fishing anytime soon ...

I'd be interested to know, not that I plan going fishing anytime soon ...  you may flyfish on the din in clised season jon26,but you may struggleto find a desent peg on the bonk that will allow you to cast unhindered.  my best spots are near tickle 4 fish and screwfix(both on penistine rd) but you willneed chest waders to wade out so you can get a nice cast  well worth the effart though,some nice brownies,chub,greyling,and even a barble can be tempted if you match the hatch :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
