I headed back to my home waters after the no shad show in the Port of Rotterdam.
As I scanned the water i noticed a fish of size in the stream that could only be a trout.
With all the shrubs and trees a bankside cast was out of the question.
I slipped down the bank which was possible due to the low water to position myself for a cast.
The lower position made it possible to toss a small dry fly in the path of the trout and I got an immediate take.

On the open stretches the dace where surface feeding and I could land a few fish on dry flies.
With crowds and heat getting to me I escaped to the shady forest.
A drift with the nymph yielded a subtle bite like that of a gudgeon but it
turned out to be trout instead.
Unfortunately the trout managed to throw the fly in a blink of the eye.
I thought I had messed up the spot but suddenly a fish took an insect of the surface with gusto.
Obviously that also had to be a trout so I switched to a dry fly which resulted in a hookup and a thrown fly.

I moved on as the spot was now disturbed but soon noticed a trout in the shallow water.
I tried a dry fly first due to the shallow water but got no reaction from the fish.
A plain small nymph was also ignored by the trout.
Last option was to use a nymph with a red tag which ultimately triggered the trout to strike.
A look at the weatherapp showed that thunderstorms where on the way so I took a break for dinner.
 I cut my fishing day short as electrical storms where imminent and arrived home just as the rains and thunder started.
