As usual at this time of year, many of us are probably dreaming about our first outings in the coming spring, dreams of our favourite running waters and lochs and of brownies ................
My own thoughts usually drift to the Don, which can still be a pretty cold place in April and might not produce as many rises as I imagine in my dreams
I find myself going through the motions in my head, hmmm, which flies will I use on this all important first outing of the year?
Which leads to this thread
Unless I see something specific on the river when I arrive in early April, I would probably start off with a couple of spiders, a dark olive and a hare's ear spider, probably size 12 ..... and I will have a nice large march brown dry up my sleeve in case I spot any towards midday
And for your favourite river or loch ........ Which flies would you choose?
It's good to dream
Cheers
Mike
