Summer evenings light until after ten what joy to able to get out for a few hours fishing after work. Lure fishing for bass, LRF fishing for a variety of species, casting a fly across the river for salmon or sea trout. The past few weeks have seen plenty of these short evening sorties the following images give a taste of these evenings of summer.
The first bass of the season is a real confidence boost.
The second salmon of the season and its tempted from a new lie ensuring that expectations will always be heightened when drifting the fly across the spot.
An evening of LRF fun with James and Rob. I will never tire of the vista of home waters where I grew up.
James displays bass that gave a spirited scrap on 4lb b.s line and an ultra light rod.
As the sun sets is always a magic time to be at the waters edge.
Heading for home whilst savoring the aftermath of a glorious sunset.
A sea trout hits the fly in fading light a flurry of spray follows a screaming reel!
Estimated at 5lb a very pleasing result!
Returned to the waters of birth.
Relish every evening and every sunset for we are now at the longest day the turn of the year. These moments are precious as BB reminded us ” Look ye also while life lasts”
Well done Wayne. Nice to see some action. Alas as yet all the fish seem to have been caught before they get to me or have moved off up stream!!! have booked a day with doug and dave out of Clovelley however and look forward to that. regards Steve
