Conditions?

13 April, 2008 by Alistair

Not to sure where it all went wrong today – good temps (above 10), the water at a nice height and some olives floating around. Mike, Alex and I fished a city stretch and Mike was the only one who contacted a fish. The water was looking brown rather than the classic green Kelvin tinge…
