Guided Nick Dunn again from England - on a different river to yesterday and had pretty good day. Nick managed to land 4 out of 7 solid hook and plays but also briefly hooked 4 others of which 1 broke off and 3 wriggled free after a short time. There was also one nice take on a dry fly where the big brown trouts mouth came out of the water to engulf the dry fly and Nick cleverly snatched it away hence saving a fight with the trout which could have resulted in another break-off and cost me another fly! There was also one other fish in relatively deep water that we brought in foul-hooked which had obviously gone for the fly and missed given it took the fairly light nymph soon after it hit the water.
