A few arty shots from Saturday’s trip to Malham Tarn. After a 4am start in search of a sunrise/star-gazing combo, I timed it wrong by about 30 minutes! 🤦‍♂️ Still an amazing time of the day to be wandering about North Yorkshire though 😁

This Size 16 Flashback PTN has been, without doubt, my most productive nymph of the last 10 years. Worth adding one or two to your box!
