    Another week of very unseasonably cold weather for early May including a mix of drizzle, an odd brighter spell plus the cold easterly wind showing no let up of disappearing. On the odd occasion the temperature went up slightly and it did encourage a few dark olives to hatch and liven up some smolts. On the fishing front the fish were pretty dour although we did see some fish each day, some fresh and some that looked not quite so fresh. showing here and there. Catches for the week were two landed. Andy Ashcroft landing an 8lb er in the Malt Steep on Wednesday on a Gold Willie Gunn and David Mcleod landing his first of the season on the Kings coronation day, a lovely liced 7lb er on a Roncade in the Cottage pool. 

    The week ahead looks to be marginally warmer than we have been having, the winds swinging about a bit, some days from the east and some from a westerly direction and some rain mid week.

    Cheers Brian
