Fished 3 or 4 swims on top section 10am to 3pm, no luck for JD on pike rod with deadbait or for me on feeder rod with boilie and meat. River up at 2m, water temp v cold

Very hard going with the water levels up and a heavy flow.
Managed 2 fish in the first 2 casts of the season which was nice! Tough going after that. Fish all taken on nymphs.
12-14” fish.

Didn’t fish so it’s a nill

Trickle hatch on LDOs from late morning with a reasonable flurry of March brows late on. A few rises here and there but generally the fish were not very switched on. Quite a chilly downstream wind had turned them off I think. Lovely to be on the water again though. A few canoes coming through the pools.

A lovely day for the start of the season. Blue skies for a change and no wind! The Honddu was running high, with some colour, thanks to snowmelt coming off the surrounding hills. Water felt like ice. Despite this, there was a hatch of olives around mid-day, but no rises. Slow going, but we landed half a dozen fish to nymphs between us and lost a couple. Best fish was 1.5lb to RM, in cracking condition for the time of year. Be warned, the banks are liquid mud in several places, especially around the sheep pens on the lower section.
