Well just got back from my 1st session since the 16th june,work and bad weather have kept me away from the river bank,however with more bad weather forecast for the week ahead i went out at about 7pm for a couple of hours and found the river about a foot higher than the last time i'd fished.Looking at the banks the river was dropping down from about 3 foot higher than normal at this time of year.Again i was into fish from the off with 5 takes in 2 cast's they seemed to be queing up to swipe at the fly and the first hour resulted in six pike in the 4-6lb range.After this it quitened off so switching to an ultralight outfit i tried for some chub but only managed 2 more pike.

So not to bad an evening really.
