Germany 24-3-2019
A quite late session on this day with not the weather I had hoped for.
On Friday it was a beautifull warm spring day but on Saturday the
skies where cloudy, it was chilly and eventually it started to rain.
With the huge amounts of rain from the last weeks the river was still
pushing a lot of water and some spots where not available to me
as I was walking around with too short wellies.
The plus side was that the water was pretty clear.
Fish where active but I found mostly very small fish, plenty of bites
but no takers.
Even the carp where actively roaming in the slow moving dammed
up section in front of a watermill.
I scouted various spots for fish and finally found a place where I
could see a lot of fish moving in the water.
Catching the fish was another thing and at first I had no luck getting bites.
A heavier nymph did the trick and I was on a roll.
The bonus fish of the day was a nice brown trout that put a good bend in the 4-weight trout bum rod I was using.
Obviously the river has been stocked again as trout season has opened.
