After a very wet night and a damp morning the river is in better form than I have seen it for months.  There are fish rising in the pools and good numbers moving in the glides and riffles so fishing over the next few days should be more rewarding that its been most of the season. 

Visitors to the Tarn will notice that the lodge has sprouted an aerial.  This is intended to transmit pictures from a camera mounted on the boathouse over the Internet to the members website.  The idea is to test the installation here before installing a similar set up on the river so that you can check water conditions online before setting off for Horton.  At present the camera is working brilliantly, but the signal is too weak to get these transmitted to the receiver at Selside.  A new aerial is being installed next week which should overcome the problem.  It's no good gurning at the camera at present as no one will see you.

When the set up was being tested the day before yesterday the pictures were so pin sharp that you could see fish just below the surface.  The camera will take a still image about once a minute so whenever you log on you will see almost live action from the Tarn
