The Martinson fly

Today’s choice - one of my own flies, the Martinson - I named the fly after finding a moth-eaten collection of old flies belonging to an old Swedish fisherman who fished at Winsnes for many years.

I designed it for the run off just in the change from slightly peat stained water to clear. It is unusual salmon fly because it contains quite a bit of claret and chestnut brown. It is a fly that only seems to work as the last of the colour tricked out but when conditions are right it’s a great fly

Good start on week 26

We got 3 fish yesterday and sport is slowish but decent in patches. Here’s a lovely Gaula fish caught by regular Glenn Hole just before the big storm arrived.

Persistence paid off

Week 27 saw Gaula running at a nice level after a couple of mid-week mini-spates which saw the river running at low to medium height.
