Despite some rain in the night the river is looking pretty good this morning.  A touch high perhaps, but fishable for both trout and salmon in the right places.  The Tarn was once again in good form last evening with a large hatch of sedge tempting the fish to feed at the surface.

I even got to sample the product of one successful take during this hatch.  I can vouch that tandoori trout courtesy of the Royal Spice in Settle is a superb way of serving a fish that half an hour previously was savouring what it though was a sedge.

I am planning to do the monthly riverfly check either tomorrow or early next week so if any member of the riverfly group would like to help just get in touch with me.

I did promise to upload Paul Bradley's report on crayfish.  Other matters have rather got in the way of me doing so, but it should be on the secure area of this site later today.
