Cabin fever got the better of me so I went out fishing despite the fact that the river was still carrying too much water.
The morning was quite chilly with temperatures just above freezing while later in the day the sun actually produced some warmth.

I fished my various hotspots that usually produce fish later in the season but nothing showed.
Near sunset I finally got a hit on the nymph and could land one dace.
On the plus side it was the first time I spotted insects hovering over the water so nature is going into spring mode.

The snowdrops are blooming everywhere and the winter aconites have also sprung up.
During the night I heard the common cranes fly over and they where heading north, all inspiring signs.
