results from first three sessions on the club water this year: -
things a bit slow first two sessions owing to high/cold water which was quite couloured (heavy peat stain) -had it been june onwards conditions were ideal for seatrout......
-but alas it is too early yet... oh well!
anyway those two trips resulted in about five fish (all returned) -all taken on heavily weghted nymphs fished slow and deep in the slower pools as the more streamy runs were un-fishable owing to water velocity
the most recent trip (last sunday, 13th april) was much better as the water while still having a good raised high (10") level was significantly less couloured (a lovely opaque greenish) with greatly improved clarity and apparently warmer water this certainly saw the resident trout in a much more positive frame of mind with the takes coming with a level of ferocity not seen before during this new season.
this resulted in twelve fish landed with three lost in play and a great many more takes missed completely .
altogether a great afternoon by the river -the sun was shining and it was even warm as well!
the surroundings were superb as most of the trees are just breaking new leaf with many just coming in to blossom too and of course the heavy scent of the garlic interspersed with so many wild flowers .....
all in all a great day out
