Lovely afternoon fishing yesterday, after a hard couple of sessions earlier in April. A few fish were rising but keeping firmly tucked under the cover of branches.
This brownie was confidently feeding and I felt I could get a cast over him. After a few changes, this lovely fish fell to a size 16 double badger.
Hoping for more fish like this in the coming months!
Tight lines all. Hope to meet some of you on the bank 😊

I was also fishing yesterday and agree it was a lovely day. There were very few rises but I did manage to catch a feisty rainbow trout, of around 2 lbs in the pump-house pool on a nymph. No photo unfortunately. It jumped out of the water a couple of times. I am not sure if it was one of the naturalised rainbows from the Wye or a 'washdown stockie' from Chatsworth but it certainly put up a good fight. The river looked in good order.
