I Had to Resort to Nymph Fly Fishing - The Dry Fly Season Still Isn't Here

The weather is still against us here in Devon, the River Exe is just fishable but the constant wind is still cold keeping fly life to a minimum. As the wild brown trout aren't looking up, I had to resort to nymph fishing. It's just not my favourite method but when it's the only thing that works, it has to be done!

Let's hope this week of warmer weather gets things moving a bit 👍

Let’s hope so Chris. I had to resort to Wimbleball today

Same here, tried an emerger pattern dry on Saturday, one take and then nothing. Really challenging at the moment. Forecast this week is for much warmer temperatures so fingers crossed!

The warmer weather has to come…. Thanks for watching Robert

It's the same here in Hampshire and Wiltshire. The cold, wet conditions seem to have put everything on hold. I went for a walk by the Itchen the other day. No visible insect life. Saw a couple of tiny rises from obviously very small fish over the space of an hour. Ditto the Wilts Avon today. Haven't been out yet this season. Rained quote hard again while I was out today. Thinking of just chucking the rods in the car tomorrow and dragging some nymphs and streamers about just to get my season under way.

It’s a terrible start to the season. Hopefully it will change soon as I hear rumours of good weather…. Thanks for watching

hi, it's the same everywhere I think and after getting good weather for Sun and Mon my two visits to the river saw no flies or fish so blanked having tried dries,spiders and nymphs but due to illness giving me a break for a bit I was just happy to be on the water anyway.

Glad to hear you’re doing ok. It’s definitely the weather for being optimistic rather than confident when going fishing at the moment!

I think a lot of the trouble in the southish of England has been caused by the terrible weather over the winter, seems to me that lots of the insect holding river beds and vegitation has been washed away or deystroyd . Update.... now water temps are right up so no oxygen, stopped fishing, can't win.
