It is warming up, albeit not as fast as I would like. It is
not feeling like late April. For me one of the hazards of combining fishing with
a busy family life is that fishing has to be shoehorned into where it fits,
rather than where I would ideally place it. This is especially acute in the
early season as a consequence of the most productive parts of the days being
quite short and the fact that it has been so long since I have been able to
fish for trout.
So on Saturday I was sat in a town centre café having a
sandwich when the conditions were ideal and was not able to get into the river
before late Sunday afternoon when the conditions had deteriorated. Still I was
in the river and that was all that was important at that time. The river levels
had dropped a little, clarity was improving and there was some evidence of fish
feeding on the surface. I had a session prospecting a streamy little stretch
and had some attention to the CDC and Elk, a trout dropping off after a very
brief tussle.
Better days are coming.
