I went down to Frensham for the evening on Saturday, got there about seven. There were fish on the surface and I decided to try dry flies. But first the test fly that had bend open had been remade with a better hook, so much better that first cast I got it hooked in a tree on the opposite bank and lost it.
Back to the dry flies. I tried many of my own and one large commercial mayfly, as I had seen a a couple of Mayflies flitting around. But no luck on any of the lakes, apart from losing more to the trees. That seemed to be the thing with my casting all evening, tree catching.
Just before dusk I decided that I had seen many fish on the surface but only heard a couple sipping (a sign of them taking from the surface). I changed to one of my Butcher flies and soon was into a fish. YeaBugger was the shout as it came out of the water and was immediately off. But about five minutes later I hooked another and managed to land it. The hook came out and was in the net. The fish was quickly placed back in the water.
About average size 2 1/12 Lbs. I left there at 10pm.
