Rain?

At last we have the prospect of some rain to raise river levels. The forecast is for some heavy rain this evening and lighter rain to follow that. If it materialises, then even a modest rise will get fish on the take and moving. Fish are present in the beat, but at 3" above summer level, it makes for very challenging fishing. On the plus side, we now have two of the three major cues for fish coming 'on the take' -cooler overnight temperatures and reduced daylight hours - both triggers for fish becoming more active in the autumn. All we need now is a bit of fresh water coming down to set things up for the peak autumn run.
