It was a bit drier yesterday so the river began to drop. However, we have had more rain in the night so levels are back up again this morning and the weather is looking non too promising at present. The forecast is for wet and very windy weather this week so it's touch and go on fishing conditions for the next few days.
When it does stop raining the river is offering some good sport as recorded by Neil P who fished on Saturday:
HI Ian,
I just
thought I’d drop you a quick mail about my day yesterday on both the Tarn and
the River, Despite the rain that fell from mid morning onwards I had a truly
cracking day on the fishery. I arrived early intent on having a bash on the Pipe
pool and was on the water for about 8:00am the sun was shining and with little
or no breeze quickly hooked two superb wild brownies. I fished on until around
10:30 with 3 or 4 more fish all about 10”-12” in size and in supreme condition.
Then the heavens opened and what can only be described and that rain that gets
you really wet seemed to be set in for the day so I headed for the hut on the
tarn. After sitting in the hut for a good half hour my father and I decided to
brave the tarn, whilst fishing the majority of the action seemed to be just out
of casting reach along the centre of the tarn so after a couple of hours
whipping the water with only 1 fish I took the boat out and quickly landed 4
good fish all about the 2lb size and very feisty.
In all I had a superb
day and the only thing being dampened was the car seats on the way
home..
I will report on our findings tomorrow.
Ian
