Bangor-on-Dee…14th June

June 14, 2018

When I got the call from Ron to ask if I was interested in exploring a new stretch of the River Dee, I of course jumped at it.

 

Although this stretch is owned by The Bangor-on-Dee Salmon Anglers Association (BODSAA), The Hoylake Fly Fishers Club (HFFC) are also allowed to fish it on their ticket.

 

To date, I haven’t made the best use of my HFFC membership so with glowing reports from last weeks casting evening still ringing in my ears, I decided it was time to check it out.

 

Initial impressions were great, it looked very fishy! Trout-wise though, it didn’t quite live up to expectations. Lots of good Grayling were caught but on this occasion, we only found a few small Brownies.
Ah well, we’ll just have to go back and try again!

View from the bridge. Looks very fishy!
Ron with the days best Trout.
The beast close up!
Perfection, but the larger Trout eluded us.
Bonus! Several small Chub came to the flies!
