Weather plays havoc with our fishing!

Rod, Sandy and I tried to do some fishing last week but the weather caused much frustration! We were all planning to spend a few days on the river but the rain caused us havoc. One minute the river was running clear, the next it was murky due to rain! Wednesday night should have been gin clear water but turned out to be coloured for most of the night until near dawn when we noticed an improvement. I lost a big fish just before dawn! Rod and Sandy had offers during the night but the cold and mist messed things up somewhat! I had to leave early on Thursday for personal reasons but Sandy and Rod fished on! Rod caught 2 sewin spinning, 1.5 lb and 4 lb and Sandy lost a salmon on a spinner! Tough luck Sandy! The fields are sodden with water so any more rain will run off very quickly I think. Lets hope things dry up soon!
