Nice one Alex! Cracking fish....

You'll have to give me a look at that fly, or I'll come out and join you some day...
Its called fishing, not catching. If it was called catching it wouldn't be fishing!

I`ll have to keep an eye out for them at our local hot spots but its usually June/July before they show up.Maybe the milder winter will bring them sooner
