Todays conditions are excellent and set to stay settled , river level is good and running very clear . The pictures above show Tom Gott with a nice Brownie caught yesterday close to the Priory although slightly lean , it was in excellent condition and put up a valiant struggle and had overwintered well .

River conditions today are very good , the river is slightly down on yesterday and the water clarity is much improved . A very happy Mr McGrath landed two nice fish yesterday both measuring 18" and in good condition having overwintered well .

07th April 2010

As at 0800 hrs the current level is good as can be seen from the pictures taken from the Priory bridge , as you can see an early riser is taking advantage of the conditions !! Todays conditions should present an opportunity for the dry fly ! Water clarity is good , a cold wind yesterday saw olive duns being held on the water and fish where seen to be taking these easy pickings , Thomas Gott had a good result with seven fish in a few hours in the afternoon all to nymphs fished upstream .
