Because I was busy all day yesterday working on the preparations for the rebuild of our local wireless broadband network I did not manage to get up to the Tarn, but by all accounts it was like Piccadilly Circus at times with a good number of members and guests testing their skill against the resident rainbows.  Most seem to have achieved success and similar luck was had by some on the river which offered good trouting water.  One guest got his first ever wild brownie down on the Pipe Pool and seemed well pleased.

My picture the other day showing the Tarn some years ago set one member on a hunt through  old photos and he left with me yesterday a set of three which shows the current hut being built in the early 1980's.  Thanks Fred and here is one of the pictures which I gather includes some renowned past members including Freddie Tye MBE, Dr Fawcett, Les Sutcliffe, a joiner called Dewhurst and Fred himself.



So far it's not a bad morning with some high broken cloud, a light breeze and no rain.  The river still looks good and should last through the weekend with good water.
