The river was crystal clear

The trees are greening up by the moment.  Always so lucky with the weather. The day was cloudy.  It felt warm at 7am, with the temp around 11C but then the wind picked up slightly wo hours later and there was a chill in the air.  The river depth was just under 1m and the water was crystal clear.  Using a new fishing "tool", Chris measured the water temperature which registerd 15C.  Just perfect for Wet Flies for Fly Fishing.

Despite all of the elements going for us, no fish were caught on the day.  Both Panda and Chris lost a lure / wet fly to hungry fish.  Sandy joined us around 10.30am with his lighter-than-air Orvis Fly Rod to join the fun.  Arthur stopped by en route to do a bit of salmon fishing.  He confirmed that if there were any salmon in the river that day, that Sarah would have caught them based on her line-in-the-water percentage.  She was using a wooden toby (a.k.a. devon minnow) given to them by Mike.  You've got to love the way the little lure glides thru the water.

All retired to the Red Lion Pub where a good time was had by all.
