| When the fishing's patchy like this I like to move around a bit. It makes no sense to stay in one place if its not "happening". Despite this I haven't found anywhere yet this week thats consistently producing. Indeed a lot of the pools seem to be "empty" of fish at the moment. We get this lean spell every year but because of that "fresh" its with us a week or two early this time.

Floods of this size are classed as a once every five year event so expect some changes out there after this. It doesn't seem to matter when Sean pays me a visit ...the river always blows. But he really did it this time with this biggie! Fortunately we got a couple of days fishing in before the flood and yesterday he landed eleven out of the fourteen he hooked.
