River up slightly after yesterday’s rain, carrying a bit of colour and pushing through quite hard so I wasn’t comfortable wading, it was also very cold. Gave it a quick go from the bank where I could but gave up and came home after a walk up the beat. No fish seen or caught.

Cold day. Couple of tugs but little else. Just needed the fresh air. Plenty of that!!

River was murky and looked like there had been some big floods recently. All I caught was the occasional branch, both above and below water!

Dry with sunny spells. Very windy along the dam but pretty sheltered along the east bank. Hooked one brownie but lost it.

Very wind day but still managed to bag 4 rainbows, still don,t understand why the potholes are not being filled in by owner of reservoir they have got even worse since September 2019!

Tricky day, cold upstream wind made things difficult. Very sparse LDO hatch around lunchtime, but nothing rising. 2 10-12 inch WBT taken on nymph above bridge, 1 good fish lost in the bridge pool after it went cartwheeling around! Lovely beat, will definitely be back. Farm’s Labrador followed me around most of the day waiting patiently for me to finish fishing pools.

7 degrees on the thermometer but a bitter easterly wind made it feel really cold and was not great for fly hatches. The water was showing 2ft on the gauge but decent clarity. We managed 7 trout up to 10 inches on spiders and emergers which we were happy with given the conditions. There was a trickle hatch of LDOs at around 11.30 but little came up for them. 2 March Browns were spotted. Still, nice to be back on the water and a welcome momentary distraction from `you know what`.

Very nice day on the river after so long off it. Couple of fat brownies and an out of season Grayling. Bridge section and downstream riffle again being my saving grace.
Hot hot day (look like a cherry tomato) feel as if the fish were sleeping it off down low. Also quite some tally from the gent yesterday!
All poor excuses I know.

Thanks again to WUF!

A pleasant day "social distancing" on the Edw. The full and fast-flowing river restricted wading somewhat and I could get no response to the nymphs I was offering. Doubtless the heron that I disturbed below Hergest falls was more successful. It was good to see early signs of Spring, but a shame about the plastic waste that is everywhere you look if you look hard enough.
