Remarkably for this summer it's been a week now since we had any rain so the river is falling away now to normal summer levels.  It's still fishable on most runs and all the pools have good water, but it will obviously continue to drop now until we get another wet spell.

It's a cloudier day today, but still very warm with almost no breeze so there is a good chance of a fly hatch later on which may encourage both river and Tarn trout to surface feed.  The fish that were stocked into the Tarn on Thursday seem to have settled down well and dispersed so fishing here should now be less of a challenge than of late.  That's provided that the hatches of caenis drop off.  The hut is totally smothered in "anglers curse" and the fish have been cruising the shallows hoovering up the hatched fly.  OK if you dress flies under a microscope, but pretty useless otherwise.

I am going to try to install the gammarus nursery later today so that it can naturalise before we put in the shrimps so more on this tomorrow.
