Westcountry,
Sounds like a fruitful day was had by all, amongst some lovely looking water.
Looks fine, weather wise too...
Must be karma, that will teach you for volunteering.
Good stuff.

Re: A Secret Somerset Stream
A beautiful journey to your small stream.
I truly enjoyed it.
The fly in the first photo of the brown, looks almost like a fly we fish here known as a Haystack.
What is the fly's name?
Thank you,
Brk Trt

Re: A Secret Somerset Stream
Very nice, thanks for posting. :thumbup:
Re: A Secret Somerset Stream
Cheers guys :)
Brk Trt the fly in the photo is a mangled up comparadun, or so my mate Bill tells me, the way he ties them they might just as well be haystacks!
It gets better, Ive just been told we can fish it whenever we like :D

Andy,
Thanks for the response. Thats what a haystack is, a comparadun.
The Haysatck was created by Fran Betters of Wilmington NY, years before the comparadun. Its an effective fly.
Congrats on your opportunity to fish that beautiful stream whenever you like.

I don't know about you but I always get an urge to just lie down in water like this!!!
Well, at least I would also like to lay fish down on that graceful water weed and take a picture of it.
