Early season after the coldest start to Spring for 30 years. A few wild brown trout start to rise to hatches of large dark olives. Dry fly sport is challenging in a swollen river. No fish rise or can be caught on nymphs in the faster water and fish are not there because of the protracted cold weather. Careful targetted dry fly fishing is the order of the day. Casting upstream and using a furled leader with an accurate imitation of the natural fly.
