Cracking weather/conditions yesterday - overcast/not windy/ fairly mild. Hit a couple of spots on the middle don after work around 3.30 for an hour or so.

That's five (albeit fairly brief) trips to the river and literally not seen a sausage. Well actually, I did get a small trout a bit further up stream last week but that's it. Not even seen a kelt where I've been fishing. Not to worried, but hoping that its not an indicator of how my season will go!

I did see one guy fishing a single hander yesterday which to me looked awfully like he was dry fly fishing.  :z8  Perhaps I was mistaken though. Maybe he was fishing small salmon flies. He was a bit further down the river on the opposite bank (association water too) so I didn't bother to investigate further.

I am off in exactly 1 hr and 51 minutes to give the Don a go. 12 footer in the car and lots of nice flies in the box. Just hope the wind is not an issue, blowing a gale at home apparantly :(

Out on lower river today, saw two LDO's and one sprat move.  Suspected it would be a waste of time before I left the house due to the wind, hoping for a better day tomorrow.  Some LDO's seen at Parkhill last week so they have started, anyone clocked any MB's yet?

Friday was a wash out for me on the Don. Stood on the bridge and struggles to stand upright in the wind. Walked down to the rivers edge and the wind was howling so went home and did an oil change on the car instead :(

MB's & LDO's on the go today although numbers were not great.  Arrived at the river at about 11 and there were flies on the water when I got there. Saw nothing move that was worth casting at all day.  Windy again, from every direction.


Cheers

Has anyone seen much fish moving up the don recently?! Planning a couple hours on the river later today. Hoping I see at least one salmon before the ADAA trout season begins!!

Another day mid river with no signs of fish, be they silver or brown! Coooold wind was keeping everything down except a very sporadic hatch of LDO's.

Will try again tomorrow :(
