This is it !!! and the good news is that as at this time the river is at the level shown just above the stepping stones and falling , heavy rain overnight has at this time had no effect and the water clarity is good .
No wind at present and the temp a comfortable 8 degrees , so conditions favourable for those lucky enough to have the day free after the long cold winter . A time to try out that new rod or waders ! and seek that first Brown of the new season . All fish have overwintered in the river as no fish have been introduced to date , this is a management strategy to ascertain how stocks hold up over the difficult winter months .
A reminder that I will be at Barden to chat to those who wish and I happy to hold a casting clinic for those who may want to learn or understand the cast , or any other technical problem you maybe struggling with .
The tug is the drug !!
