Our second outing on the Test was at Timsbury, part of the Test near Romsey and where it is just a river rather than typically for the Test, lots of split side streams or carriers, as they are further upstream.

The Small Stream 2 line cast superbly and in the margins and smaller area's in between the islands it is a supreme line to use. I switched to the GT90 for the wider sections and amazed my fishing buddy by getting to the far bank with a dry fly.  I dont think he realised I had the wind behind me a lot of the time. 

As you can see from the photos, the river is wide here and has some very deep pools as well as some lovely glides and islands.  And of course a rather nice lunch area with the obligatory cigars 

Whats nice about this venue is that you can take your brace and thereafter catch and release or just catch and release!

I agree James, they seem to vary moreso with Brown Trout than with Rainbows.

Mike, I think I could be called a slightly above average caster,  but not great, however I have to say your lines do make me look good.
