The first of March has been and gone thank God its a new season, hope you all over wintered well now its time to get back in the river and burn off a few pounds wading.
There were a good few lads out on the 1st Michael Callaghan, Gordan King, Garreth John, Martin Murray & Jason and Kerri Nolan were all out for the new season all caught a few fish and went home happy.
The water temp was a bitter 5 degrees a major change from last year which saw almost hot tub temps in the river at this time of year, temps of 10 degrees were recorded throughout the river last year on the 1st March.
Very little fly life was seen with only a few March Browns and a couple of olives seen hatching.
Pheasant tail Nymphs proved the order of the day with the resident trout happy to gobble them up.
Here are a few pic taken on the day to wet your appetite.
