The river wearing her springtime cloak of wild flowers
The romantically named Factory Pool, always full of trout
A brownie falls for the nymph
...and one on the dry fly
A perfect salmon smolt, unnaturally late in leaving the river - a product of the late cold spring?
A 10 inch trout on the Grannom Emerger
Best trout of the morning - hence the smug grin
A few days of warmth and sunshine have lifted spirits, but so far struggled to raise water temperatures to where they should be. Fly hatches are still sparse, although the black gnats are starting to swarm over the stickles. Unbelievably, a mayfly spinner was seen today on the Lyd, and we have great hopes for the next few weeks,which should see the peak trout season. Salmon and sea trout are also expected soon.
