On Sun, 4 Mar 2007, Derek Moody, gave forth these words of wisdom:
Redds in general seem to be higher upstream than I remember before but
there was too much water in the usual places to tell whether they had
also been cut.
Forgive me if I appear to be pedantic Derek :-)
Redds: fish or frog spawn,

I think it's only in Scotland that frogspawn is so designated and I'm a long
way south of the border...

Salmon/Seatrout.

The unusual abundance of water meant I didn't see much spawning activity
this year and I still haven't had a chance to see whether the usual places
have been used. The fear is that if they have, much spawn may have been
washed out. Otoh the upstream redds are a good sign - as long as they
retain enough flow until hatching which looks likely.

or was it a typo?
Looking forward to the 1st April anyway.
