This wild brown trout was feeding like this from the start of the hatch until the very last few; some four hours of constant rising. Not many duns got past and were able to take off but an hour after the hatch finished, the spinner came back in terrific numbers. It's so important that our wild trout get time off to feed confidently at the surface, to prepare in this case for the long winter ahead.
Having said that, those of you who have fished for limestone trout will know that despite what the film might suggest, the fish aren't easy to catch. The best tip, if you ever try, would be to learn to turn over a long leader, in the sitting position. You are going to have to keep everything invisible. This isn't casting to fish up in the water, in-between weed beds at long range that can't see you. Forget windows and fields of view, they see everything!
