A Little Paradise

I fancied taking the dogs for a walk today on a local field which i let them stretch thier legs on, whilst having a little play around for a while on there my dogs done a run for it and scarpered down a deep valley which i never ventured down before in my life and im so gutted that i havnt as what i found rite at the bottom of this deep valley was A Little Paradise just sitting there wild and untouched which looks like forever and with the sun out today there was a little olive and midge hatch and there were a few little fish rising in the fast water so there is a few signs of  life there :D

I will definatly be paying it a visit when the warmer weather come out to play and the fish too ;)

here are a few pictures which i took :)

Cdc & Elk

All last season if i wasnt  catching anything on any of the many dry flies in my box such as klinkhammers, griffith gnats, etc i would always use one specific fly and the mighty fly is called the Cdc & Elk, it caught me small fish from 6 inces to 10 inches long and it caught me big fish from 12 inches to 20/25 inches.  Thankyou Mr Lewis/ www.ffisw.com for showing me this magnificent patter. But the best thing is its ONLY 17 days left till tha madness starts all over again :) but who's counting ai ;)


Here are a few pics of the fly a few fish big & small which have fallen to the Cdc & Elk :)
