River now 7″ on Peebles gauge. A bitter cold north east wind blowing upstream and making casting hard work.
I saw several fish move in the Mound first thing, but they would look at nothing. I had a half-hearted tug in the meetings whilst chatting to Rufus, but it didn’t stick. Then fished the entire upper beat on my own after lunch and never saw or moved anything. Interesting though, even at this, now, very low water some of the pools look as if they should still hold fish and the fly works really well across them with a small figure-of-eight retrieve. Just no good playing a good tune to an empty house, I suppose.
Oh and my standby waders bought into bat today, leak worse than the ones I threw away yesterday. Grrrr!
They had nothing on Caberston today either, I gathered from Graham M who is staying in the hotel.
On middle tomorrow.
