We seem to be entering a further dry period here at Horton.  Some members have arrived this week anticipating a full river based on the volume of precipitation they have had at home only to be disappointed.  The best thing to do before embarking on what may be a long and ultimately less than rewarding trip is to ring me.  I am only too happy to advise on the state of the river and the likely conditions over the following 24 hours.  I can't guarantee to always get the forecast right, the weather here follows its own laws not those dictated by the Met Office, but I can at least let you know what the current conditions are and let you make your own mind up as to whether it's worth a trek up to Horton.

At present it's dry and sunny with no rain forecast for tomorrow.  So with the river back to bare bones only the deeper pools are worth setting up tackle for.

The Tarn continues to fish well although it's been quiet up there this past fortnight with few visits.  We stock again on 18th so anyone planning to introduce a novice or youngster to the fine art of fly fishing can anticipate a relatively easy time for them from Sunday week.

Finally, at long last I have learnt to drive so watching the river should be a little easier from now on.
