Use a fry imitation and catch a pike, not the biggest surprise. Thrash out a budgie imitation and catch daft stockie trout, ditto.
Just to annoy you, the Darent fined down and cleared on Friday, this is my first on the 3 weight and dry (klink) of the year. There were 3 others, all rising to a hatch of olives
Never fear, it rose 1' yesterday and will be unfishable for a week...

Yeah true, we did throw everything and anything at them before that. Even had a couple of nice olive hatches when we got out of the wind which were completely ignored. Everyone else we met blanked too, bar one boat who caught loads.
Had a quick session on the frome on Friday and nothing doing there either. Been a cold old April

@bobble and I had a bit of long day out yesterday. Cold and windy out on chew, and saw very few fish. Tried everything and anything to tempt trout on our first time out on the lake but nothing doing - as it turns out we should have moved around a bit more to find the fish. We did connect with a toothy critter unintentionally who snaffled a size 6 sculpin lobbed into the margins, and the pike fishermen caught trout on 8” pike flies 🤷♂️
