Dan O’Neill reports from Mount Juliet on the River Nore…
Just before the flood came on the Nore (last week) I was lucky enough to get some fishing in using dry dropper. I had a companion with me on the day, a man called Jonathon from France. Listening to his stories of fishing in France was quite interesting. His approach to fishing was slightly different so I decided to watch him for a while.
It’s always great when someone that’s not familiar with the river fishes it. Jonathon tried spots that I would usually walk past and managed a couple of trout in them too. Some nymph patterns he had that were made by himself worked quite well and I have replicated these since.
We fished for perhaps 1 hour as we both had to be somewhere. The largest trout we had was 33cm and smallest being around 20cm. A lovely brief learning curve with some unusual yet successful patterns added to the box.
Upcoming opportunities
We are holding beginner fly fishing classes and also fly tying classes. Mount Juliet is also recruiting 4 new members for the 2021 season. For information please call Dan on 0857652751
