The first 10 days of the season have been somewhat of a a non starter, what with the wind, rain and now the cold weather. The river banks and the river itself have not all been cleared unfortunately, so the fishing in places is going to be a bit tricky, as in some places whole trees are across the river, whether you will be able to get round/under/over we will have to wait and see, otherwise its a case of getting out of the river and back in again, which isn't always that easy, so whole sections of the river may not actually be fishable.
I'm hoping to get out on the river at Easter, weather permitting, however, the long range weather forcast is not looking at all promising, so it may be a case of staying at home and tucking into an easter egg!

Friday saw the start of fishing on the R. Axe. Also on the Otterhead lakes. the day started out fairly mild, with a wind, but no rain! Taking a chance, i ventured forth to Otterhead lakes. On arrival, the wind was whipping up the bottom lake, instead of down towards the dam for a change, and the odd fish was rising, to what i have no idea, however, nothing ventured, nothing gained. 
It took about an hour before the first fish decided he liked what was being offered, in this case a CdC buzzer, then came another lull, which brought about a move and change of fly, this time a Blood worm under a bung! ( if it's legal and allowed i will use it! ) this proved a wise choice, as fish started to come to the fly, not long after the 5th fish was released so the wind got up and the rain/hail started, as by now it was also getting cold i gave it best, and packed up.
Saturday turned out to be not much better, and today (Sunday) is also rather gloomy and the river was up and coloured. Lets hope it starts to get better.
