Well with shifts done and dusted , was champing at the bit to get going on a wild stream , knowing it's a tad early but with the mild wet winter we've had there may be an eager brownie wanting a quick snack !!!

Opted for the Cammarch , fished here many moons ago ,but with the Edw , Lugg and Arrow so handy normally plumb for one of those beats to be honest !

Half nine when I parked up at The Trout Inn cafe park mooched to the bridge start and opted for a small tungsten nymph, see if any takers . . . River in lovely condition , running clear and at a lovely height , looking at the banks it has been obviously very very heigh , but drops fast I should imagine . . .

Worked my way up , very pleasant too , not really expecting much , and too be honest was nice just having a recce on this Upper beat , will be superb here in five or six weeks .

Worked my way up more or less level with the little church and bimbled back down to the bridge , couldn't resist a few casts in that lovely pool under the bridge , and had a small , and I mean small gorgeous little brownie on ha ha . . . Spot on !!! He'd hammered the little PTN tungsten nymph happy days , had a look at the Edw @ Aberedw on the way back , that's running at a nice height too , a really fun three hours here,oh and not too much of the dreaded rain either , just started heavy when I was walking back to truck , back here soon , a lovely beat !!!!

River still too high really, only two swims feasibly fishable. With no bites til lunchtime and the rain showing no sign of stopping I threw in the towel and went home to get warm.

1 very small stockie returned. Apperently, this res has been ravished by the Polish poachin. Not a good day fishing.

Did not fish. River still too high. I had a walk along the bank on top part of the Rectory and there is aquite a lot of debris in the shape of trees and branches along the bank that might make fishing a little trickey when the level subsides.

Yes , I know the river was at least ½ a metre too high, but it was opening day . The water colour was good and I managed to fish from various points on the wooded side , mainly from the bank with a sink tip skagit line.

The recent record flooding has done a lot of moving and removing. However, today the sun shone like that of April, birds singing and a buzzard flying low above me. Good for this Londoner to be out again and yes I did think I was going to get one .

No fish caught today. River too high for me to wade making making fly fishing difficult. Regards, Denis

Started the season off with high water at Whitney Court, the beat and the river looked in fine fettle. Fished hard for a small Parr and 2x healthy Trout on the fly. Will be back very soon.
