The Bleating Of The Lambs

Fishing in March can be an uplifting time after a long cold winter. With the bleating of lambs, Snowdrops and the calls of courting Ravens overhead

a feeling of change is in the air.

The fishing though is often frustrating with the Grayling season ending and the Trout not ready to start feeding with any purpose.

Fishing the Clun on Saturday this proved to be the case, from the first pool i caught five Grayling, on a red-tag tungsten nymph. However the next four hours or so only produced another three fish with a couple lost.

All the fish were Grayling......with a couple of decent ones, its now time to look forward to warmer weather when hard fighting wild Trout will be caught from the prolific rivers of the Marches.
