Me and Scott(bigman) went to sweethope today on the way we stopped at id tackle to buy some SCUD fies which we read gordon(nodrog) had done so well on..we arived at sweethope and not one car in the carpark:oso we tackled up scott with a floating line with a green body and white tail scud,me with a midge tip and same fly,first to casts two fish then i got snaged and the hook snapped:oand only bought 1 of each colour doh,scott came next to me (haversack)and every cast he got a fish or a pull with a dead slow figger of 8 or rolly polly or just letting the wind drift it round was workin well.I moved round to the dam area and put a dancer (white tail)on and bang straight in,the fish were all bars of silver and really hard fighters best stocked fish ive seen for a long time..we fished from 1 til 5 and had 50+ fish between us yes 50!!and just as many pulls and takes...scott had the best about 6lb but all the fish were 2-3lb..a very nice 4hrs..

nice one lads. sweethope fishing well. scuds fishing well. nice to get some feed back on the scuds. trying to tye them at 15/16ths[comp size no weight] let u know how i get on. by the way had a report from john cowell from crewe. at his local fisherie hes outfished everyone with a dry fly i tied for him at the nissan show. hes been top rod for three weeks! driving others nuts cause he wont tell them what it is! feedback good as i can eliminate bad flies. i have about ten anglers who try out my new patterns and they report back to me what works, what doesn't. that way we can eliminate all the flies that are crap and you get to fish the ones that work! 80 yes 80 flies were put in the bin last year, howevewr we discovered 2 or three that outfished most patterns. hope this helps
 
Going to Stocks on fri/sat for a match so will give them a go down there coz its any size fly..will let u know how i get on gordon....
