Reconnaissance!

Reconnaissance is a good use, maybe even the best use, of the dry fly angler's time during the next month.  Wander and wonder with a good pal, carry a camera and enjoy watching the river come alive.  Spy out where the river will be different from last season, the winter floods will have done much of their work by now.  Work out where the fish are, ready for your early season visits.  Observe and note where you may find some early cover before the leaves return, so you can be stealthy on the day.

(For those who maintain an interest in traditional photography this was made using a Yashica Mat 124G loaded with ILFORD HP5 Plus, which was developed in OBSIDIAN AQUA.)
