Well the Met forecast was wrong again -nothing for the upper catchtment though the odd storm elsewhere. One over the Black mountains yesterday seemed to be heading for Hereford. Some rain  for Friday, apparently,  but it does not look significant at the moment.


Yesterday.   6lb fish from beat 3 on Whitney  by Jim Cummings. Other fish about in reasonable numbers on the beats.
