Weather: Extremely strong north westerly wind until 8 pm then starts to drop. Hardly any rain.
Comments: Conditions were still very tough today but the team went out and fished hard. The river was up and slightly coloured and despite a fair few takes and soft attempts at the fly only four fish were landed for the day. The river looked to have stopped rising by dinner time and as the wind abated we saw good fishing weather for the first time since Sunday. We hope to get a fair crack at the fish tomorrow and actually see what head of fish are in the river at this stage, instinct would say that despite the early spring - leaves are out and flowers blossoming - the beginning of the main spring run is yet to commence.
