Was out earlier today for a couple of hours on beat 2. The water is very low but running nice and clear, lots of olives hatching along with some march browns and sedges, got 2 brownies both around half a pound, plenty still rising when I left so should be a good evening if you're out, tight lines.

OK Guys, the season is o"fish"ally open. Joe's caught his first fish of the season today . Down on beat 2 , between 11am and 2pm, weather mild and slightly cloudy. LOTS of flies, mainly LDO duns, hatching and plenty of fish rising. Too clumsy with first 3 takes, then one was rising in the quiet zone of a lovely riffle area. A hard take on a size 14 dark olive klink (debarbed) and it was on, a 12'' beauty, with substantial girth, in great condition, and it wasn't going nowhere without a fight. My goodness, it doesn't get any better. I don't normally take pics as I like to get them back in quick, but first of the season, I couldn't resist. Saw several dippers, yellow wagtails, and a heron on the prowl. Took one smaller fish around 8'' then time for home. - Happy days .

Hi Colin Sorry to hear that....there are always some who spoil things for others. You do know you are also fully entitled as a club member to look at his permit / id credentials if he asks you?
