It's a very warm and humid start with more sun than we had yesterday.  A few showers overnight have dampened the ground, but done little to improve the quality of water in the river.  The Tarn continues to fish well and is showing a consistent ratio of catch to visit of over 3.5 and very few blanks.  Anything that resembles a damsel fly should do well at present although if I were a trout I might be getting sick of the sight and taste of damsels by now. 

There are swarms both on the water and in the grass surrounding the margins.  Some are electric blue, but others are a dun colour.  These may be male and female of the same species (common blue?), but none of my wildlife books are very helpful when it comes to damsel flies.  Thoughts would be welcome.
