Latest fishing report!

I spent Friday night on the river. It was very humid and overcast until about 2.30am when the mist came down and forced me to pack up!

I fished the flats first as soon as the light had faded. A good fish moved in the tail which was promising! I then continued down to the bush, above and below with no offers. Andy's Pool was equally lifeless! I battled my way through the undergrowth from my pool to the bottom pool and fished that down to the tail. 

At about 1.00am I decided to fish the flats once again concentrating in and around the 'hot spot'. At the hot spot I had a good take and felt the weight of a good fish but alas it only stayed on for a few seconds! At this point I had changed my fly to a Rodder's Special, a fly I haven't fished for quite a long time! I carried on down again through the tail and down to the bush and below. Whilst fishing below the bush a good fish moved above me in between the bush and the tail of the flats. Then the mist came down quite quickly and forced me to pack up! Somehow I feel that if the mist hadn't come I might have had a fish? I wonder?

All in all not a complete right off. There seems to be the odd fish about here and there. The amount of fishing activity seems very very low this season. I haven't seen any other anglers this season other than Dan and Steff and for the past few outings I've seen no-one! One thing that has struck me this season is the amount of small fry about! There are thousands everywhere in the shallows! I wonder why they are not turning in to adult sea trout or brown trout? A mystery!

After quite a few nights fishing this season my tally still stands at 2! Back down in 3 weeks God willing!

More bollocks?

Another 2 nights on the river with little to show for it!

Rod and I fished for 2 nights. Pretty favorable conditions on the whole I would say. I caught a 2lb sea trout which I have to say fought like one twice it's size! Rod had a couple of pulls but that was it. I saw 2 good fish move over the 2 nights. Again - very disappointing! By the way I haven't seen an Otter for ages and ages!! Sad!

No fish!

July - the best month of the season? Rod and I fished for 2 nights and nothing! I saw 1 reasonably good fish but no pulls! Rod had one pull I think! Dan and Steff were fishing Friday night but they had nothing too!
