It was pretty cold in the morning, temperature near freezing.
The white herons where freezing their backsides off in a pasture on my side of the border … all that white and sunshine was too much for the camera so the pics turned out pretty bad.
At the stream it was windy and cold and fish where not active.
All I could muster was a small roach and a dace.

In the village I spotted some carp in the no fishing section and had
a few bites on the nymph but nothing stayed on.
When I moved to a new spot I noticed that I was missing the tip section of my rod, probably lost on the way somewhere.
I tracked back but could not find the tip section so the fishing session was over.

I did put out a call to the local flyfisherman in case somebody finds it but my best hope right now would be the spare part warehouse of Orvis for a replacement.

The weekend was weatherwise pretty miserable but next week the warmth will return and as I had spotted one swallow today hopes are high for good weather.
