Early season but nice weather on this so out and about on the stream.
Foliage was slowly appearing, windflowers were starting to pop up and I spotted some cowslip starting to bloom.
Not much insect life yet and not much fish action either as the water was high and clear.

I spooked a trout but figured it could not have far so I probed the most likely hiding spot and got a hit.
Hooked the fish for a short time but it came off.
The second hit was from another trout but on the indicator and no second hits afterwards.

Since I did not get many hits I had to take drastic measures and use the mopfly.
To my surprise that yielded two dace.
Also deployed the squirmy and had some takes of dace.
Talked shop with one of my friends who was also fishing the same water and heard the tales of slow to no action.
Called it a day in the afternoon for lunch.
