my second week off has been hot and cold as far as fishing go's . Ive spent my time equally on two local rivers .The usual early season tactics sitting waiting for the hatch to commence , then seeking out rising fish has been the game plan , the fishing though has been temperamental , the best days being the cloudy days when good numbers of fish were caught. I was finding the majority of trout tight to the tails of the pools which made for slightly tricky drag free presentation at times , but generally the trout have been keen takers , most falling to the shucked cdc and the rest to klinkhammers.
