The River Severn was in flood on Friday after a day of solid rain, On Saturday morning I thought I would have a walk over just to confirm my fears of no fishing this weekend, but to my surprise, the river had dropped like a stone, slight bit of colour but low.
I thought I would venture up stream, the water should be even better up stream, it turned out to be a slow day with mainly trout coming to the bugs, what was strange, all the better trout seemed to be in quite fast shallow water, all fish had taken a pink bug which was on the leader, along with a caddis pattern and a black bug, all in all 5 trout came to the net, nothing very large but nice fit fish.
