We have had some unbelievably nice days with lots of snow on the ground. Warm, calm and sunny. The river has maintained itself nicely through the melting snow. Lower reaches are murky but up high is fishing very well.

Nymph rigs have been the best with red lazy midges, crystal midges, PALs, JuJu midges and baetis etc. Worms, leeches and scuds also doing a nice job.

NPL is officially open for the season and we couldn’t be more excited. Dates are sparse but we do have some so don’t hesitate to call.
