Nicely done Nicholas, that is very good fishing in anyones book!

AKA a 'Feline Merkin' - that's what we called them in them thar invention days in the English reservoirs way back yonder.

We used to have decent Civil Wars then in England - no knives/hoodies and popahols, just chain-mail, an honest longbow of yew and the fletcher's best ash for arrows, ably assisted in aiming at the scum by a flagon of Mistress Quickly's finest mead..

Thanks Guys, just a point with the white death, i noticed the fish where feeding just below the surface in the afternoon,i did tie on emerger patterns but no luck,the white death was put on by chance beacuse i did not have a cats whisker,turns out it was the right thing to do.

This morning i thought i would find out a bit more about the fly and hears what i found,bu default i chose the right fly.

Shuttlecock flies in bright red with white CDC is deadly on the Eikendal Ducks
I caught 2 in 2 minutes, but they were strong and broke the tippet

hey i'm gonna phone your boss...i tried to speak to my boss today about a little trip and she said "NO" ....the back problem and subsequent jabs i've had did'nt seem to help sway her. i think it was probably when i said ...."ja but a coupla beers to swollow the medication will help numb the pain". apparently not the right thing to say.....to the boss, of course..
good luck and enjoy
cheers
