Usually by this stage the family summer holiday is booked and paid for - this year however we've decided to err on the side of caution due to the interminable weather we've been experiencing. Tactics have been altered and will be executed as follows:
- Monitor every meteorological piece of information until Thursday this week.
- Throw in a few pounds of salt.
- Divide the result by 6 for good measure.
- Depending on the result choose a destination and duration of stay (or not).
- The only caveat is that there is an abundance of trout filled streams (crucial to avoid a sulking husband for the duration of the holiday).
- Pack a shower cap and leave sun up Saturday morning.
In anticipation of the above the flybox is in desperate need of replenishment - a few pictures depicting progress so far:
 |
| #22 Olive Paraduns; #26 Midges and #24 Chironomid Emergers |
 |
| Variation on a theme - #22 Olive Paradun and the same pattern using #26 with grizzly hackle. |
 |
| #22 Reverse Parachute Emerger |
Here's hoping ...
