Peter Driver of Piscari Fly is back with his weekly roundup of the fishing scene
Hey everyone, hope you are all keeping well. It’s great to be in the month of February and see some of our waters open up for the season. Even though we might not be out of the winter weather yet, we are on our way there. Really looking forward to getting into those springtime months of March when all our rivers and lakes open up and we all get out to do some fishing. Tight lines to anyone who is going to get out over the next few weeks and we will keep you updated on how the rivers are fishing as we get out ourselves down South for the early season rivers.
We took a couple of weeks off issuing the newsletter as there wasn’t much to report. January is always a quiet month. I didn’t get out fishing much at all over the month of January. Had a lot of other things going on but should have more updates coming in regularly now as the season starts to open up.
How’s the Fishing?
Rathdrum Trout Anglers held their final leg of the club’s very successful winter league in glorious weather last Saturday. 1st place Chris Cherry, 2nd place Stewart McGraine 3rd place Jamie Conway. Well done to all the winners. Seemed like a great tournament. Didn’t get up there this year but hopefully next winter will get a crack at it.
They will hold their club AGM on the 25th of February at the clubhouse on Brewery Lane, Rathdrum at 8pm.
