It may not feel like spring has arrived just yet but our trout season is well under way nonetheless and undeterred by the unseasonably cold weather, Sam and I were back out on the river this Easter weekend trying to tempt a few more trout with an array of hard and soft lures. In a couple of short sessions over the long weekend we each caught a few trout, nothing too spectacular in terms of numbers but they were decent sized fish (1-2lb) all the same.
