A couple from the River Meon today - a truly glorious day and my first brownies of the season. My first on this beat too! :D

The river is in rude health:

The weapon of choice - TXL 7ft 3wt with Sage PT WF4F line and Danielsson Nymph reel - lovely:

The best day of the year so far:

Thanks for looking,

Ben

The Loop Traditionals are truly the technicians reel...

A couple of my favourites from Hampshire (and I hope you'll excuse the really pretty Grayling there too)

Excused! ;) I dont think i could ever become tired of catching grayling , season permitting of course , such a beautifull fish and a fine indicator of a rivers quality!

PS. Me to loving the Danielsson Nymph Chalkstream! Very drool-worthy!

Thanks guys, glad you like the pics (and the reel :D ). The Danielssons are slowly replacing all my reels for trout and Grayling as and when I can afford them. No drag, just simple and light and - most importantly - uncomplicated. Too many other reels weigh a ton to give you a drag that could stop a Permit... not really what you need on a 3 weight!!

Kurt - cheers ;) That day on the Meon really recharged my batteries and I have very fond memories of that shiny Grayling. I think of them as a freshwater Bonefish!! :bigthumb:

On the reel note, drag is as drag does... I love palming the bottom of a screaming loop... a silent scream when compared to the noise of most reels... I've landed plenty of steelhead on my Traditional 2 and 2W... and the occasional chinook/king (like hooking a submarine...) as well.
