    i,d recommend for stream and river trout fishing for the first of march would be dry flies like grey duster.

    i might end up going to the river to. i was over there yesterday for a look and the water is high and the current is strong:( i think if i go there il be using wets i wouldn use drys this early in the year.......my usual set up for march is a dabbler or two, peter ross and maybe a bibio.

    BOLLIX TO ALL THAT TALK AS IT ISIRRELIVENT TO THE FIRST OF MARCH. Hares ear silver spider greenwells glory hares ear with a partridge front hackle ,Butcher ( not a bloody butcther) peter ross, but with the weather we are expecting i,d recommend for stream and river trout fishing for the first of march would be dry flies like grey duster b100 hare,s ear body with hen badger hackle but cock will do fine. tightlines lads pictures will be posted friday evening i,m giving the young lassey the day off school this year as it falls on a friday, she will have to wait for another 3 years for another day off for the first of the trout so i see no harm in it .
    A nyone else giving a youngster the day off for encouragement i think it,s a good idea to keep them keen

    I know what you are saying. If mild the dries could be worth a shot. But I normally start on the river with larger streamers and stuff like that.
    Yes the day off is a good idea for the kids. Tight lines.

    Trout will take a dry in suitable conditions. Even on the loughs.
