Right, it's early April in the UK, in the north east of the UK that is. And unfortunately, hello, it's nice and sunny, it's damn cold. Temperatures aren't in double figures yet, although they have been for a couple of days last week. Water temperature is still really cold. There is quite a few flies around, there's a lot of midgies and I've noticed there's a few olives as well hatching out from the river. So I'm going with an upwinged olive fly, dry, even though I can't see any fish rising. And I'm going to give it a go and say if I can catch any fish. I love fish and dry fly and I know for a fact that the fish probably haven't moved from the bigger pools into the runners, but I'm going to try the runners with a dry fly. I love fish and dry fly. Yeah, maybe it's when the weather warms up a bit, but it looks like a cracking place. Still just a little bit too cold. See one fish rise, one. There isn't a couple of times in the same place. So I've got the same dry fly on. That's probably at the limit of my cast and range, so I might have to let it drift down a little bit. I'm going to have a go for that one. My fish is rising way beyond the capability of me and my rod out of range. I didn't want to do this, but I'm going to try and creep down a little bit further. Water's quite shallow here, so I don't want the fish to see me. I've managed to creep down a little bit more and the fish has risen a couple of times since I've been sitting here, so I don't think I've scared it. I'm going to have to go for that one. I'm going to have to go for that one. I'm going to have to go for that one. It's just about to see that it had gone right all the top of it and it did. A little brownie, brown trout, salmotruda. Beautiful little fish. Absolutely beautiful. Not took that all of really well. He's going to go back from when he came. Get up there. Excellent. Well, I honestly wasn't expecting to catch anything on such a cool day. Now the top end of this pool behind me here is normally boiling with fish, but I think it's just too damn cool. It's no flies hatching. I haven't seen any fish rise, so I think to catch one fish on dry fly was an absolute result. It hasn't made for a very interesting video, but I've loved it. I would rather catch one fish on dry in difficult conditions than 10 on wet fly. Don't ask me why. I'm just like that. I just love catching fish on the top. Very difficult to dare, but I still managed it. Give me a pat on the back. Hopefully next time I come down here, I'll catch more fish. In fact, I know I'll catch more fish because I'm going to wait until it warms up a little bit. Till there's a little bit more fly life in the air and on the water. And even though this stretch of river gets fished quite a lot, both legally and illegally by people. Herons, otters, mink, gusandas, caumarrants, all of them things. There's still fish to be caught here. I always catch fish when the weather's warm, because I tend to fish the places that are quite difficult to cast with a fly rod. Most people ignore those places, so the fish do well in those particular pools. When it warms up, I'll be back. Thanks very much for watching.
