A few arty shots from Saturday’s trip to Malham Tarn. After a 4am start in search of a sunrise/star-gazing combo, I timed it wrong by about 30 minutes! 🤦♂️ Still an amazing time of the day to be wandering about North Yorkshire though 😁
So the ‘post-Laxa blues’ were finally put to one side and it was back to the Wharfe for an early start. Plenty of Grayling with red kites, buzzards, kingfishers, Grey wagtails and a Little Egret for company! 😁👌🏻

With the rivers blown again, I decided to take the camera for a walk around Rodley Nature Reserve to take a few portraits of some of there smaller residents!
If Carlsberg did picturesque first evening sessions of the season! The @semperfli inspired Black Gnat pattern was given the seal of approval too! 😁👌🏻
A few Black Gnats on the Wharfe at the weekend, hence I’m restocking just in case! A size 16 with @Semperfli Kapok Fusion dubbing spun in the ever faithful Nanosilk. Just the merest hint of sparkle 👌🏻
Blencathra looking glorious this evening. Fingers crossed for the same next weekend when we’ll be back chasing Salmo trutta🤞🏻🤞🏻
Restocking with a few extended body Danica’s and LDO’s. @semperfli kapok and Classic Waxed threads for the bodies on Size 14 and 20 Dohiku 644 Grub hooks respectively.

Just a few of @semperfli new products that I like the look of; Kapok Fusion UV, Latex Scud Back and fantastic 1mm Silli-legs will definitely be forming part of my fly box prep for the Iceland 2025 trip. And you can now buy all the products direct from Semperfli.net 👌🏻👌🏻
This Size 16 Flashback PTN has been, without doubt, my most productive nymph of the last 10 years. Worth adding one or two to your box!
Churning out some slightly drabber nymphs. They definitely proved the order of the day in gin clear water last weekend!
A stunning autumnal day on the river! Grayling were playing ball too. Great to see them back in numbers!
