Thumper Ben well done, interesting to note fish position, they've certainly moved out the slower pools over the past week or so.   :z16 :z16

Embarrassed to admit I was out from 1:30 this afternoon and having to report it was crud.

Saw 4 (no, not the film) trout that were obviously larger than parr rising all afternoon despite there being a reasonable amount of sedge flitting between air and water whenever that bleeding wind simmered down. Cast to two and got both (1/2lber's) so you could argue a 100% catch rate, then you could waken up and say it was a poor afternoon.  :z8

Something needs to happen soon, I'm having a right Munson of a season!

A nice way to finish off a great day.

The middle reaches of the Don are coming down a wee bit high and coloured for trout this afternoon, but it is clearing and falling nicely and should hopefully be in good nick for tomorrow if the showers stay away :z16

lower don appearsto be rising according to Fishpal - hmmm. snow melt? or was it really rainy inland yesterday?
i did hvae an hour on the river yesterday, friday, and it was like a light brown minestrone - a soup of leaves and bits that had been blown in by recent winds.

Just had a walk down my local stretch of the don, looks to be falling and clearing. It is still carrying some colour but I am hopeful of getting a days fishing tomorrow.
