Another bitterly cold morning with a sharp frost and ice on the pond.  It's good to get some seasonally cod weather though rather than the persistent wet, mild and windy stuff that we got last winter.

I managed to get the Turn Dub invertebrate check done yesterday which showed a healthy population of most species and a better than average population of gammarus including some quite large specimens.  Good fodder for hungry trout over the winter.

I sat in the hut for a while chewing the fat with a couple of members.  Fishing was hard (and cold), but some success was had. 

The real reward of the day was the gift of a rabbit from a couple of members who went bunny hunting with ferrets on Monday.  A nice plump well grown rabbit which will casserole nicely.  Ideal grub in this cold weather.
