HEAD FOR THE TREES

The showers of the last couple of days have made hardly any impression on the river level.

Just to make life a bit more challenging, it's also pretty bright at the minute. Accept the fact that you're going to lose a fly or two and try under the trees.

Nobody said it was going to be easy!!!

Nice conditions

River is at a nice height. Weather is a mixture of sunshine, cloud and the odd light shower. Some wind to ruffle surface. Some nice fish can be expected in the catch returns.

Saturday, May 29, 2010

IT'S RAINING!!!

However, it's not enough to make any difference to the river just yet.

The weather at the minute is drizzle, calm and warm.

Approach it carefully and there's nothing to stop you catching fish today.

NO CHANGE

Lots of rain fell yesterday evening but it hasn't moved the river level much but it has to help.

The weather is dry with patchy cloud and sunny spells.

ITS RAINING !!

There has been some much needed rain in the last 24hrs and it is still raining now but it has not affected the river level yet and is unlikely to do so unless we get a lot more.

Sunday, May 09, 2010

BRIGHT AND COOL

Still got a cool wind coming in from the north east and the river is still low.

Saturday, May 08, 2010

ANOTHER COOL AND BREEZY DAY

No change on recent conditions - the river's showing its bones, the wind's in the North and it's pretty cool.

However, while it's not going to be easy, it's not impossible. If you're in the right place when the flies are coming off stealth tactics will produce results.
