At last I made it out today: the river had dropped a little and was running clearer. Perhaps still a little more colour than is ideal, but still fishable.
The wild garlic was certainly flourishing and gave that aroma of spring as you walk:
I managed a couple of fish on the peeping caddis and tungsten-backed shrimps. The fish were hard on the bottom and in the deep pools. A hatch of LDO's was encouraging. Surely with some better weather forecast, the real spring fishing should really start to begin. Watch this space!

Nice going Dave - I just love the look of your stream... magic.
Best,

Ditto the wild garlic comment.
Always gives me the first real suggestion spring is establishing itself.
If you saw a family of 3 with a small black terrier, that was us. We went out for a walk, starting in Wellow, crossing the ford tracked east across the hill then down into the valley by a small brook then past some ATAA stretches before going up again and back down into Wellow. My wife has just remembered the wild garlic in her pocket, there were a multitude of pheants and we saw 4 deer just above the cycle path.
What a beautiful day to be out.

Thanks for the comments. Good to be out.
Vince - This was the River Chew, not the Wellow. I will be making my way down to there later this week. Should be on top form!
There we go... jinxed it already ;)
