hit Hepburn early again too try and snare another "trophy " fish , no luck this time - only a couple - 33cm and 39cm ( throw backs ) new size limit min 45cm which is a great rule . weather was just right - little to no wind , overcast with occasional drizzle and plenty of fly activity - but hardly any rises
headed over to Newlyns after 11:00 and the water was bubbling away with redfin chasing these same flys - orange in colour ? ( would not take any lure ! )

Those insects are Mayfly Spinners in Red earlier in the day these would be Nymphs before hatching into Mayfly Duns around 10 -11am usually there and then they change again to the Red Spinners later in the arvo before mating and dying.
It's usually a great time of year to Fly Fish the lake.
