TACTICS: Difficult fishing , with very low water conditions. Some activity on the dry fly in the mornin , but not on all spots. Fish are concentrated at the deeper spots and that’s where best activity was both on nymphs and on dries. During the day there was some ants on the water so the fish were eating but not too much. Evening activity on dries was not the best .Fishing very thin tippets of 0.08mm was the most productive and fishing further away from the fish.
