Germany 27-03-2022

Well, since last Friday did not yield any trout I figured I would give the syndicate the Saturday
to put in the stockies so I could fish for them on Sunday.
Went early before daybreak under cloud cover with as target the upper section of the stream.
The headwaters were accessible in spring, later in the season it would become an overgrown
jungle with no room to cast.

I guessed the lack of cover scared the fish away but at least I got a roach and a dace for starters.
The stream further down was shallow so you could imagine what the headwaters looked like.
But in the end I got a little brown trout and missed a legal size fish.
There was always something like next week so I remembered the spot by heart for another try.

I even waded one the two feeders that formed the stream.
Behold I actually got a strike on the indicator so that could only have been a trout.
The clouds had gone early in the morning and the temperature rose quickly.
Insects where appearing and I even spotted a blue dun on the water.
No fish in the upper feeder though or more likely all on the run for bigfoot=me.

Next stop the middle section with deep pool but absolutely no life to be seen.
Further downstream I managed only gudgeons and a few dace.
Last stop of the day way downstream in a village dragging a deeper pool for any fish.
I had hoped for a trout but only encountered a perch and some roach.

This was the last day of fine weather so far with a cold snap and possible 
snow, hail and other rotten stuff forecast for the weekend …
