I had an evening a Spring Hill (Kent).

Not much showing on top by I got my two fish on a Shipman's. The technique
(pay attention everyone!) was a bit inventive.

Firstly I made sure the Shipman's was well Ginked up.
I use 4lb b/s Fluorocarbon tippets which sink.

So, after casting out the trick is to allow the tippet to sink (it'll never
drag the fly under) and give a good "twitch". The fly goes under for a few
seconds, but eventually pops up to the surface again and the trout hit it as
it's rising or breaking the surface. Easy when you know how.

Fished Stocks reservoir yesterday - very hot & sunny but with awkward
east wind. Caught 10 fish floating line and buzzers fish slow over
deep water. 20' leader of fluo. Odd fish rose in afternoon and I got
one on a suspendrer pattern.
