There's nothing more encouraging than hearing “should’ve been here yesterday” as you’re setting up.

Plenty of poor fishing trips have insult added to injury with tales of how good it’s been every other weekend of the year – so I was glad to be told that Friday and Saturday had been so much more pleasant than Sunday as I struggled fishing into a downstream wind.

I’d planned to fish nymphs on and work my way up a stretch, then stroll back down the other side.

I’d set up with a banded nymphing leader that should’ve helped pick up bites as my flies trundled along the bottom.
