River below summer level is the cry from the upper reaches of this river where only small fish are now co-operating.  But for anglers who know the whole river intimately quality fishing second to none was still available last week despite the frost.  Local guide Brian Russell had a super session on a little known stretch of the river and recorded twenty fish with an average size in excess of 32cms.  Olives where predominating on Saturday with small hatches of midge in selected areas.  With the varying conditions and the forecasted cold weather the fishing will not be as good as it was in March but with a little local knowledge the river shouldn’t disappoint over Easter.
