Today is likely to be my last chance to visit the river before work resumes next week. The fishing continues to be good and there are plenty of fish around although getting them to take a fly can be tricky. They seemed to feed best in the late morning and in the early afternoon the carp decided to take it easy and bask in the sunshine. Who can blame them?
The carp here are really lovely fish with very distinct pattern to their scales. I was fortunate also to catch a couple of gipsy barbel which have beautiful yellow bellies.This is particularly noticeable in larger fish.
Just before arriving at the Guadlhorce river I passed alongside so
me citrus groves and had the good fortune to see a booted eagle circling low overhead. There is just so much wilderness within a stone´s throw of where we live. How lucky we are!
The first carp finally surrenders
