Blyth 24/3/13
I must be mad. That was the coldest day I've ever had on the river!!
I met Stephen(Blood) at 12 at the mill. The river had dropped a lot since last week so we thought the fish might come out to play. How wrong could we be. I think they were tucked in where it was warm !!! Where we should have been !!!
I tied all the usual methods in all the fishy swims but all I had was a couple of very gentle takes. It was on of those days when it was so cold it was a real effort to change flies so I stuck to a PTN on the point and a Black spider dropped. This combo usually works well but not today.
We called it a day at 3. Both frozen to the bone but happy we were back on the river. All it needs is a bit of sun and some fly life and it will be back to its best. Do you think we will get that by August !!
