    Sharpley 22/01/2014

    After heading to Reelsport on Tuesday to buy a new fly rod I decided to christen it at sharpley on Wednesday with my cousin.
    We got there about 10 and signed in. It was a bit hard going to start with but picked up as the day went on.
    After a couple of hours moving about and trying a few different things I started getting takes the first one I got was a good take but managed to snap my tippet and nick my fly after that I had another three takes in a row and didn’t manage to land a single one (still got a lot to learn) I was beginning to lose all hope, then I got another take and I was determined to land this one. It put up a good fight but after a few minuets I managed to land it a nice 3lb rainbow on a nymph.







    I was using a 9’6 fly rod with 7wf floating line with various nymphs and buzzers.



    So after five takes four lost one landed quite a calm day weather wise we had a good days sport.

    sharpley can be a hard venue to fish but it has to be the best fishery in the north east plenty of room to move around and well stocked with good fish great to get a fish on a new rod m8.
