Really low summer level mate with some algae problems. The Irfon upstream has a few inches of dirty spate on, so it should freshen up a bit with this extra rain.
Not enough for the salmon but you should bag up on the barbel!
do you two go fishing together ?Thanks

I find carp fishing like camping out next to a lake,waking up early in the morning ,getting a brew on and just chilling,fag and a brew and mist rolling in ,really magical,everything done at a slow and steady pace,time to take in your surroundings , nature and wildlife,not a sound or care in the world,then fucking carnage as you knock everything out of the way at the sound of the alarm,haha happy daysStill can’t get out “proper” carp fishing due to work pressure. Had a short session stalking carp on a pond where one nudged my float and spooked, but a blank. Then had an hour at dusk last night again with the lures and had a perch of maybe 1lb 8oz.
I sit in a boat in hours in all weathers until I can’t feel my hands any more. Fucking mental that’s what it’s about :-).Do any of you lot sit there at the side of a river/pond/lake/sea for hours on end when it is pissing down and blowing a gale. I have noticed some that do by the Weaver. WTF is all that about?

In all seriousness, it makes your choice of waterproofs v important. I am on the lookout for some new ones. I normally buy coat/bib and brace that costs around £200 but find after 3 or 4 seasons they are as good as a sponge at repelling water. What do you use mate?'Spring' fishing in February tits deep in the Scottish Dee in a snowstorm.
Fuck I am dumb. :)
A little different for me mate because I am in the water. 'Spring' fishing I wear lots of layers under lightweight stockingfoot chest waders rather than neoprene. I have an England Doctors waterproof fly coat which has an auto inflate lifejacket incorporated. (I swim like a brick) Thermal layers under that.In all seriousness, it makes your choice of waterproofs v important. I am on the lookout for some new ones.
