Tweeddale Again

[seddo]

Visited Tweeddale yesterday and had a canny day. The weather conditions were not to good, misty and miserable most of the time and this seemed to keep the fish sub surface.
Tried a few buzzers to start off with but got no joy, after an hour or so and a few fly changes I decided to put on Richards Dinky Do, second cast a fish of approx 4lbs. carried on with this pattern and caught another 3.
The fishing died off for a while so I moved around the fishery and tried various other methods/fly's with no success.
Late into the session I put on a Haswells Olive and was immediately rewarded with a cracking fish of around 7lbs, a real smasher.
Ended the day with 8 fish, all returned safe and sound ready for my next visit in a fortnight.

Cheers Lads

A good day,:thumbup:
Do you always go up mid week:question:

John.

 

[seddo]

I am led to believe the fishery is really busy at the weekends, so yes John we normally go thru' the week.
I have a peek at the wind map and pick the day that has the least wind strength.
We have been there on various days and we normally manage to pick up a fish or two.

No doubt about your pattern Richard, it certainly does the business.:thumbup:

Great fly, not just for Tweeddale though, it is successful on other fisheries as well.

Can someone please tell me what sort of fly a dinky-do is or better still what it looks like ? Also what is the best way to present it (floating or intermediate line etc)
Thanks for any info.......
