    Well we finally got rid of the Easterly wind that has been plaguing us for the last few weeks and welcomed a more spring like feel, warmer air temperatures and a softer atmosphere which makes a huge difference to spring growth on the river banks and trees however it wasn't all sunshine as we experienced quite a lot of thundery downpours on Tuesday resulting in a very heavily coloured river on Wednesday making the fishing pretty difficult however before and after that we had reasonable conditions and Henry Craven Smith landed our first of the week on Monday, a lovely 8lb er in the Grey Mare on a Cascade. Henry followed this up on Tuesday with our first sea trout of the season from Grey Mare and was 3lb.  On Thursday, Andy Ashcroft had an 8lber in the Malt Steep on an Allys Shrimp and that was us for the week. 

    The week ahead looks like rain for today (Sunday) then more showery for a few days with another band of rain moving over on Thursday and winds from a westerly direction.

    As always you can check our availability on our own website and then book directly with Sarah. 

    Cheers Brian
