I,m planning to go on Sunday for the day.Bought some Dawsons olives. I,m gonna try them and some of the free flys i got with me rod and reel package.

Can anyone explain how you fish with two flys on your leader.

Do i just add another further up the leader?

as you come to the derwent off the A68 you'll see the turn off for cronkley, 200 yards further on is the bay, which will probably be worth a shot, the warm weather usually gets a good rise going in there, bit further you get to the sailing club, drive 500yards further on and park up, that bit of bank up from the sailing club tends to be the most productive
