On friday and sat saw myself and my mate greg fishing both the river Ure and the Wharfe, we set off friday afternoon and headed towards Hawes the rain was heavy but nothing could dampen our enthusiasm we pulled into hawes and had a look at the river level knowing it was not going to be ideal this is what we were met with

i think i might have to put another wrap off lead on my czech nymphs to get them down

      the river is carrying a bit of colour and up a wee bit

                                    Greg bloody hell its come up this far and ive only been sitting here 10 mins   

Give it 5 mins and it will stop raining honest !!

we had a look to see if we could find and slack water to fish but after 30 mins walking the bank we went back and dat in the car and decided to give it a hour and see if the rain would stop and see if the river would drop. After 15 mins the river was still rising so we set off to Bainbridge and booked into our B+B.

In the morning before setting off to fish the Wharfe we went back to the water fall and took another picture

The same place a day later !!!

We woke to no rain and bright sunshine so after a hearty breakfast we set of for the Wharfe and arrived to find the river with a bit of colour in it but perfectly fishable.

Greg was the first to catch on spiders we both caught fish on both spiders and dry fly's
