Rainy Day’s Fishing

I went out this morning for a couple of hours before the heavy rain started. Although it was drizzly rain the fish were rising steadily in the lower pools of the beat I chose to fish on the River Kent. I decided the best tactics for the day were to get into the water to reach the pools, without having to cast too far enabling me to keep in contact with the fly and hopefully a fish or two.
I put a Partridge & Orange spider and GRHE on the dropper. Within a few minutes I had a couple of takes, this continued for most of the 2 hours that I was there before the heavy rain came on, unfortunately on this occasion I was not able to land any. So my second blank of the season, but at least the outlook is hopeful.
