Cold and bright up at our local loch today, no luck there, Been having a bit of a dire season so far, while I don't want the fine weather to end,   it might be stopping my catching or then again it might just be me, but my casting is improving, so that's one positive thing,  :X2  Derek Roxborough

I'm completely fed up with the wind the last few weeks.  Every time I get out it's blowing a gale.

The east wind was always a fisherman's hungry wind Derek. As well we both know.

Down here in Staffordshire the Spring fishing on Blithefield Reservoir has never been better.
The ever present easterly wind  has made bank fishing exceptionally good.  Plenty of rods averaging a dozen or so in recent weeks. My pal returned 35 one day a fortnight ago.  Last week the Hawthorn's and buzzers murdered them.  I did quite well on daddies and sredges too.  It's been a good easterly for us  :cool:

When I started fishing 40 years ago the maxim that was hammered into me was -
"When the East wind doth blow, the the fish do go"
