Read MoreEvery day in May – check it out!
This is a pretty cool idea by the guys over at How Small a Trout – make a new post every day in May. Sound simple? It’s not going to be easy I know that much but I sure bet it’s going to be fun!

To top this off Jim sent me a text saying one of the guys had passed the river earlier in the day and it was looking high and dirty. We took the executive decision to leave it until the morning to check river level updates, the weather and the forecast. A gamble was made and off I set to pick up Jim. If you go conditions may be crap and you might not...
