I have a bream...but no trout.


Only had the one fish the other day at Canol, a nice bream but only the one. There were carp on the surface but they weren't taking free floating offerings. The weather was interchangeable with variable wind and rain, making it hard to locate the fish.

A solitary snotty  bream...
...which succumbed to the above offering.
I also had a wander around Crai reservoir fly fishing for trout to no avail, a hard water! Again it was windy and it was hard to find a spot which allowed for easy casting. I walked around past the waterfall to a stretch opposite the island, there were small fish showing but they weren't tempted by an assortment of small flies. Even my lucky golden hares ear failed to produce.

Overall a dismal couple of days fishing, and the weather has closed in, where has the summer gone?
