[rrw35]

Few snaps of myself and thewickedpickett on the Kellswater today. A few fish at last (for me anyway ;D ;D ;D).

Dry fly worked better than nymphs or wets..

"We'll make this look at least a pound with Paintshop Al".

"I think these fish have been on a diet".



Combat fishing..



A mean roll cast.



"This would be a monster if i had smaller hands"! ;D




"Its a stampede Al, run...."




"This ones bound to work".



Believe it or not, its about 6ft deep in this run.







River gin clear after a huge flood. Small rise of fish after an olive hatch...nice to be out!

Looks like you and TWP had a good day. I'm glad to see you managed to get fish at last ;D

What size do the fish average? They look bigger than what I would see in the Ballinderry. Excellent quality photo's, what camera did you take them with?

Its an old camera mate, but does good pics. It was about £300 three years ago...probably about £80 now.

Very few decent fish about, average size is about half a pound. Nice stretch of water though.

Went to the Six Mile first, and had'nt a pluck. Dont know whats up with the six mile at the moment.

What fantastic looking water! Is that your local river?

.....and lovely little wild fish too Weather looks better than its been here - colder than a witches tit.

well done Alan And Ryan. The Kells looks well nice pics

I was at the Sixmile yesterday at a work party did not fish,

This time of year the Sixmile is always hard ,it starts to pick up in April, the river is a bit high at the moment , but if your fishing it ,best times to hit it is between 12-1.30 am .if your going to get a few Dark olives thats the time they should hatch .

The run below Dough Bridge or around Summerhill or Muckamore best bets.
