I had to share this.

I used to use this forum years ago and had forgotten it existed. I've recently rediscovered it and it still has some amazing content with really impressive pictures.

There was one post in particular which I thought was very cool was of a guy from Madeira fishing for rainbow trout which were stocked into the tiny rivers and streams years ago and have managed to produce a sustainable population. They are some really pretty fish and its amazing that they are there at all considering the size of the streams and their location.

Another fly.

This is just a general pattern that I'd use to cover most dry fly hatches happening on the river.
Albino peacock herl body, with dubbed CDC around the post and partridge as the hackle its on a size 18 hook.

Just a short video from a late september of a brownie on the dry fly.
