After I caught up with all the paperwork and jobs ( which seemed to be never ending ), I managed to gather my fly boxes and headed towards the river. On arrival, things were looking less than hopeful........the river was up 4inches due to recent precipitation and slightly coloured.
Just as I was about to head back home, in the corner of my eye I heard a rising fish. I clambered down the embankment and sat patiently.......A decent hatch of large dark olives and iron blues all intermingled causing a few more fish to start showing. Ended up with a few fish to hand and it was certainly better that twiddling my thumbs at home.
