Hi All
</div>
<div>
Yesterday evening I made a trip to the river to test a new fly.
</div>
<div>
The water level has gone down to its lowest level in 2015 and there was
</div>
<div>
not much fish activity.
</div>
<div>
However a good bed of Ladies'-tresses is in flower on the bank. Seems
</div>
<div>
years with low water make the best flowers. They are quite brilliant this year.
</div>
<div>
In the bed was a Turtlehead in bloom. It was very short - about 20 cms. Looked
</div>
<div>
like it might have been a different species but perhaps where it grew was responsible.
</div>
<div>
A very attractive flower even if it was a miniture.
</div>
<div>
Insects were scare but for some water beattles. A few dragonflies were going back and forth,
</div>
<div>
but there didn't seem to be grazing on midges.
</div>
<div>
About dark several small flocks of Mallards / Black Ducks came in and splashed down near me.
</div>
<div>
One flock of 4 had a Mallard and 3 smaller ducks. Perhaps Ring Necks or teal - I couldn't tell.
</div>
<div>
As the ducks were flying around, the fish got active and my new fly meet their approval.
</div>
<div>
By that time it was dark and time to go home. On the way a barred
</div>
<div>
owl ended up making it a pleasant evening.
</div>
<div>
Enjoy the last of summer
</div>
<div>
