First trip out of the year and I blanked – to be fair my first cast rose a trout however either I was too rusty or the fish was only playing I will never know. I only had a few hours spare and I just decided to go for it. The temp according to the car was around 18 degrees.
The day was bloody hot and I went to places that I knew had a lot of overhanging trees. There was one fly kicking around and there was no other rising trout to be seen.
The river had a whitish tint to it and in other parts looked crystal clear – there was a nice earthy smell from the water. I wouldn’t say it was on its arse however it was looking thin in places.
The weather has to break at the weekend so hopefully that will kick things into action. I am not sure if the cans were used fir graffiti or buzzing however it was annoying to know that the old saying of “People Make Glasgow” should really be “People Make Glasgow look like Shite”
