Winkled

I arrived at the bridge over the river this morning to find it had risen 18'' overnight and once again was choked with suspended weed. The colour wasn't too bad and with my confidence high after all my recent success I decided to have a couple of hours. The fish had moved out of the main flow and I managed to winkle half a dozen out of the back eddies and slower water.
I had planned to spend the morning targeting them on the fly but the extra colour and flow can make wading tricky and I opted to stay on the bank and fish with lures. I'm hoping the river will drop sufficiently over the next 24 hours for me to try it tomorrow.
