Fantastic to be back on the river on such a lovely spring day, which proved to be the last before lockdown.
The river was carrying a lot of water, which was gin clear, this combined with the bright sunshine and keen easterly breeze prevented me from troubling the scorer today. There was a brief hatch of March browns and olives at about 1.30 but I saw no rises to them.
I saw beautiful wildlife however, including, kites, buzzards, heron, dippers and numerous wagtails. A wonderful place to be before the enforced pause to the season. The winter floods had led to several bank collapses and substantial shifts in gravel beds, no surprise really.
Note there was roadworks on the approach to the lay by making access difficult however I would think these will be long gone by the time we resume.

River a little high, and pushing through, but clear. East wind made things chilly and a little tricky. A brief hatch when the wind eased off around 2pm brought a few fish up. Nice to see they are still here after all the floods, even if i couldn't tempt any.
