Nothing seen, nothing caught (wet or dry). Too damn cold...

Well ..... turned up at nine at one of my favourite rivers !!! Low low but beautifully clear and looking over the bridge a rise , in fact two !!! Excited delirium setting in .... tackled up my trustee six foot two weight and a new Stuart Croft line ... these really are superb fly lines , dear but my they are crackers !!

Anyway , a weird four hours albeit fun ! Small fish today , all of them , really odd .. nowt over six inches !! And casting a twenty Parachute Pheasant Tail into streamy water leading into pools had a feisty response !! I did search the pools with a tiny tungsten nymph ..... not a sniff !!!

Fishing today did remind me of early fly fishing days on the river Morda or Cynllaith up near Oswestry .. splashy takes by small beautifully marked brownies..... eleven to hand ; none of them rod benders and six or seven that didn't make it !!! Where's all the tubby edw fish that normally show ?? I'll put it down to the flow of water and just the kids out to play this morning !!!

Farmer redoing all the fencing either side , but some considerate exit and entry points for us anglers which is nice to see .... obviously not the same punters who did the fencing at Arrow Kington !!

Anyway a lovely morning .... in dire need of rain especially if we get hot weather on this low river too . Even catching small ones is fun , especially on a dry ... and in the gorgeous Edw Valley.. what more could a river angler ask for ...... bliss !!!!
