Could have been excellent - pity about the grass covering the fishes head! Done the same thing myself in the rush to get the picture taken...

Nothing

Sometimes trout and grayling sip "nothing" from the surface. You have tried the smallest parachute in your fly box - size 18. What they are taking is much smaller. You look again into your fly box, and right - there is no "Nothing" there.
