Almost But Not Quite

Me and Rob had a few hours on the Upper Ribble , we
arrived and stood on the bridge as we did Pete phoned
telling me about a rod he had seen .
The water looked spot on , A silver springer was making
it's way upstream a double , the opposite way another
double fish almost black was trying to make it's way back
to Sea a more natural contrast you could not see .
We decided to walk , it's nearly a mile to the other side of
the wood but what fantastic water it is .
Half way through the wood the phone went again this
time Mike, I wish I could show my mates this water
complete with fisherman's cabin which has bunk beds
Think if I was a member many a summer night would be
spent by the river it's like your own holiday cabin , you
can take non fishing friends for free
The length as been adapted to help both fish and fishermen
the stones form a waterfall with a run in the middle ,this
channels the fish , if we had Bears I'm sure this is where
they would be fishing .
A further 200 yards or so another such sculptured feature
in between is a long fishy looking pool .
We crossed the river lower down at the ford and Rob fished
down the pool while I moved up Nymphing, as I did I noticed
silt coming down I thought it was Robs wading upstream so
no concern , it soon became apparent though that the river
was going into spate no rain maybe snow melt? we rushed
back to the ford and the river was now over 2ft higher we
just made it
Today I'm off with the kids it's half term the weather looks
spot on but dont think I will find any time, but you never
ever know!
