Indian Summer. Although everyone may smile when they hear it, it was not such a good thing for us here on the river yesterday. Bright sun and 80+ degree temps made for a day more like August than late September, and kept both the bugs and the fish down. As it has been over the last few series of days, the streamer fishing has been decent, with the brown trout eagerly feeding in anticipation of the upcoming spawn.
