Fly fishing for Brown trout 28th April 2024. Got the first fish of the year on a dry fly. lovely sunny day but there was an upstream wind that made casting hard at times

Thanks Peter. Was just nice to catch sum fish. Been a hard year for trout on the river. Not sure why. Just doesnt seem to be the usual amount of fish. Or im just not being very lucky? Has been alot of comorants over the winter so could be that too.

@@afishermansdiarywithiainup5377 the cormorants, goosanders numbers and the like should be controlled, too easy for them to catch fish including salmon Parr and smolts, more left for you then!!.
