Brief description of the session & remarks:...Back to river Fly-fishing after a very long lay off, this was my first time on the Wenning for 25 years and the very first time on this stretch. All the fish were picked up at the tail end of fast runs. Two of the brownies were around 10" and the other three about 6". All the flies took fish. The river is hard to fish because of the trees on both banks and most of the time I was in the river, must get a wading stick!! The two hours fishing flew by and I soon found my-self at the end of the beat at dusk and with no wading stick I wasn?t confident I could ford a strange part of the rive in the dark, so I took the long way back through the woods, crossing the river via the road bridge. Nice evening on the river and good to be back fly fishing on my local rivers.
