15th March

So, how was it for you?

Went out today - in the rain - air temp started out at 4C and finished at
10C. Water very high and fully coloured. Caught three trees and six loose
branches.

Ah, well - at least there were some stonefly hatches, which bodes well for
when the river is a bit lower.

Good fun though.

Here on the R. Tawe in Swansea, the river is very low with nothing
showing at all. The temperature isn't too bad though.

There are sporadic hatches of olives in early afternoon, although very few
trout are rising and as Bill says the water is low and very clear, water
temp appears cold to me.

Sorry, should have said where I am - fishing the Eden in Fife - a much
smaller river than the Cumbrian Eden, and subject to rainfall swell
overnight - as happened - (Typical) just before going out.

After the rains the river is now much higher, 4-5ft perhaps, very dirty and
the water temperature should be slightly higher. When the level drops the
situation should improve

Since writing the above we've had a spate and this should have cleared
out any debris - Tesco Trolleys and other junk in the river :-)

Well seeing as how Asda were selling farmed rainbows as "English River
Trout" can you enlighten me as to what methods you use to catch their
"Welsh River Trolleys" please :-)

The following method has worked successfuly for me
Locate trolley, carefully wade into river, grip trolley with both hands
then carry / drag it out of water and away from river bank. PS dont forget
to submit your catch returns to the appropriate superstore letting them know
the exact location of capture amd point of release.:-)

Go back after a few days and find trolly back in river as there is a catch
and return policy, unless you take it home
