The day is fast approaching... The 15th of March, and being
a borderline workaholic I wasn't going to be able to get a week day off to get
out and give the river a proper bash. To be honest I haven't been able to get
out much at all this season, my last trip was a very short and frosty morning
spent on lake very near to my house.
Unfortunately I think they may have few resident mink which have wonderfully unraveled all of the great stocking work that had been carried out in the
previous summer and the hour or 2 my brother and I spent there was a complete
blank! So the week leading up to this weekend was spent religiously checking
the EA river levels website. Despite a squirt of rain earlier in the week, the
river level was running a lovely and consistent 0.73m. Ideal (Although where I
intended to fish would be a fair bit deeper than that). I had decided to get
out and away early, and one of the advantages of having a baby is that lay ins
are seldom. Sure as the sea, at half 3 we were up and feeding him, and I endeavored to leave the house at 5 and be back for 9(ish).
