Low water has persisted for much of the first part of the trout season, but there has been some fine fishing on our rivers. Sea trout are now running in increasing numbers every night, and we are making forays to the coast in pursuit of the bass.

David exhibiting the level of concentration needed to catch wild trout. Note the downward glance at a fast moving reflection of a bird on the water surface, the upward glance to determine if it was a cormorant, and the trout taking full advantage of this to take and eject the mayfly.
