Last week's exploits!

I went down the river last Thursday full of expectation! Having parked the caravan up and had a chat with Derek, the new owner, I took a walk to see what the river was like. Rain a few days earlier had lifted the river level but it was still a bit cloudy. I decided to give that night a miss and went for a walk instead. The next day wasn't too bad so on the evening I made my way down to my favourite beat. On my way it started raining. The wind increased and the rain got heavier! At dark I cast a few lines and gave up because of the gusty wind and torrential rain! Rained off you could say! The rain lasted for at least 24 hours! No fishing for me then!
