Just been for a quick fish on the river Rivelin that flows through the valley just outside of Sheffield. It's a beautiful night with lots of fly life about hovering in columns as the sun goes down through the trees.The Rivelin is small stream fishing, lots of nooks and cranny's with little eddy's and pools. The river contains a good head of small wild brownies. A quarter of a pound would be a good fish! This kind of river is perfect for a little 2 weight brook rod with no more than 2 pound leader.
A few fish were rising but without any frequency so I opted for a small gold march brown with which I managed to winkle 2 small brownies out of the fast water at the bottom of one of the weir pools. Lovely relaxing evening and fantastic fun!

Nice to see your out fishing again.
Don't be surprised if you catch a rod bender out of that small river - these placed have a habit of holding the odd biggun.
