Yep, my bit of the Darent, dry detached body Mayfly (later left in a bush). As previously recommended, simply work the treble on the flying C around the split ring and replace it with a barbless single lure hook, go a bit bigger than the treble.
In today's news from the syndicate lake; four fish in four drops on the pole, perch 1:9, bream 8:7, tench 7:8, rudd 2:2. I'm pretty sure the rudd is a PB and have never seen or heard of anything near this size in the lake (there are 50 acres of it).
@Arducius, we await pics of the leviathan when you land it, carp or cat! Ps, to tie on a hook a five turn grinner or a palomar are the only acceptable knots.

Nice rudd!
Sadly only a small carp so far. Nothing showing in our part of the lake. Went for a kayak earlier and loads of carp in the pads in areas with zero access to the bank. Not sure stalking a big carp off the top from a kayak would do much more than take you on a tour of the lake or straight into the nearest snag!

Lovely fish! Which dry / which river? Is that the stocked one you often fish?
