Interesting day today.
I tried a few beats and each one had different water clarity, in fact on a couple of them the water clarity was different depending on which side of the river you were on.
Lots of swallows and martens on the wing though, great to see the guys back, i guess the weather must be getting better
Much wandering about, but when i stopped to eat a biscuit i became aware of a few fish feeding against the far bank. watching the for a while it appeared to be a pod with some pretty decent fish in it. Temptation got the better of me so i walked down until i found a spot i could wade across and then i fished from the opposite bank
Quite a challenge to pick them off without spooking the rest, but they liked the scruffy olive again.
Average size was pretty impressive
We are so lucky having such a quality trout fishery on our doorstep
So hard work to find them again, but once on them, it was a great afternoon. Last one was picked off after a rise 12" from the bank on my way back to the car
Water had dropped about 2" by the time i left, so fingers crossed there is no more rain tonight and tomorrow might be a decent day too
