Nipped down the river for a couple of hours after the mail run yesterday. Conditions felt good, muggy warm and overcast - although the wind was a bit of a pain in places.

The couple of hours ended up being till the back of 10.30

but I was having fun!

Netted lots of nice Brownies and would have gone home more than happy with that.
But I had the bonus of a couple of cracking Sea Trout that were feeding in amongst the Browns.
All on Sandy's CDC Spiders

Typical Sea Trout, leaping about all over the place!
The first one would've been around 3 lbs, the second more like 5 ( only half went in the net ) and I lost a third - which entertained me with a few cartwheels before giving me the finger

Got a photo of the first one.
Had the second one sitting nice and calm on top of the net in the water, I went for the camera - the fish headed for Strathdon

I don't usually get many pics when I'm on the river by myself ( Billy no mates
![funny *smiley-grin*](https://www.fishingthefly.co.uk/forum/Smileys/classic/smiley-grin.png)
) so I was trying out something new, basically setting the camera up on a wee tripod, pointing it in the general direction of where I was going to be fishing, and telling it to take a shot every 10 seconds.
Focus was not ideal, there were lots of pics to delete when I got home, but it actually worked quite well.

A most enjoyable couple of hours .....
