Well its not a rumor it is the first of March you don't have to check the calendar, another season has begun.
A few fishing starved anglers made the best of the sunny conditions and had a fine day.
With some out as early as 8am it just so happened that the trout were awake early as well.
A good few fish were caught most falling to nymphs.
The water was 9 degrees yes your not seeing things 9 degrees, there was a good hatch of large olives around lunch and some trout were rising to them.
The water was quite clear & low for this time of year.
All the anglers we bumped into along the river had a smile on their faces and a few good 1st of March stories to tell.
Heres a few photos taken on the Rye today.
If anyone has any nice photos or stories to share from the club this season please send them to the email address in the profile section & we will post them on the blog.
An Early Start for 2 happy anglers winter was over and Barry Neavyn (above) & Jason Nolan (below) made their annual 1st of March march up the Rye the rewards were to follow.
Gordon King with a lovely trout above the aqueduct enjoyed his first day of the season.
John Neavyn had a smile on his face the joy a new season brings.
And finally Kellystown was reached and all were satisfied with the first day of the season tired legs and tired arms and a good appetite worked up for dinner what better way to spend a day in March.
Hope you all had a successful opening day, I made it out on the Sunday, got five fish in total, four on the N.C. Spiders and a nice fish of about a pound on the dry.

Out on the Rye again today for a couple of hours, the going was tough but I managed two fish, a small one on a Snipe & Purple & a fish of about 10 inches on the dry.
