A glimpse of Spring?

The heavy rain forecast for today failed to materialise, so this afternoon Tim and David had an hour on the River Lyd trying for grayling. Tim had a beauty of 36 cms, plus a brace of unseasonable brownies, while David had a smaller grayling and another brace of trout. All were taken on deeply fished nymph patterns. The sky cleared and the air was noticeably mild, and with the pussy-willow breaking we thought it could have been a Spring day.
