Beautiful brown trout & grayling Fly Fishing on the Welsh Dee sporting my new Orvis Pro Hoodie VCAC

Just like last Monday evening, I managed to escape for a few hours on the Welsh Afon Dee. My favourite dry fly fishing for the Trout & Grayling.
It was one of those evenings: nothing rising (confirmed by Will from Wrexham, a gentleman I met when tackling up as he was departing) but full of hope... confidence even.
As one or two fish been to surface, I rifled through my favourite 'go-to' flies and eventually tied a #16 black hackled parachute with an olive body and a Wally Wing post; IMMEDIATE success. That's just the way it goes for moi 😉👍🎣
At 6:42 I spotted a rise on the far bank just to the left of the overhanging tree and although I spent a while trying to tempt the fish with some pretty accurate (but ghastly!) casting, I headed further downstream.
I returned after about half an hour with the black Wally Wing parachute and again, with reasonably accurate casting I managed to tempt the beautiful brownie to the take.
As always, thanks to Llangollen Maelor for their fabulous water. (Derek Bithel is always kind enough to give me the nod!).

Very nice fish. That hoodie looks great as well!

Thanks 🙏 KO! It was a cool evening and the hoodie kept my temperature spot on! Thanks for the positive comment. Most of my Brownies aren’t very big but they are my absolute favourites 👌
