Another cold start however temperatures are rising quicker in the sun , weather remains dry and good fish continue to be landed and lost and all seem to have overwintered well , as can be seen from the picture above .
Peak hatches of Olives and March Browns continue to be centred around 2pm , resulting in exciting dry fly tactics during which is often over all too briefly for the unprepared , with fish reluctant to show interest following the hatch !
This afternoon saw increased fish activity as good hatches of Browns stirred a frenzied surface activity resulting in lots of chances to connect with an overwintered beauty as seen .
Friday morning 0830 and a bright start , and the river remains settled .
Yesterday I caught up with one of our member during a hatch of Olives and March Browns which resulted in two fish returned .
A cold bright start , air temperature is 3 degrees and water is 4 degrees as of 0900 am . Good sighting of an Osprey yesterday afternoon hunting the river on its way north from its wintering grounds possibly in Africa .
Thursday morning 0900 am , grey skies and a cold 8 degrees , otherwise the river is in good shape .
