An Excellent Blog Post About Spring Fish Identification

I sometimes head north at this time of year and as the seasons change and indeed their timings as the years pass, the need to be able to identify any fish I might catch is becoming more and more relevant.

This is an excellent guide by Robert White:-

What to do?

I am trying to if not book and pay for then at least sort in my head this year's fishing.

Should I go down to the Taw on both 1st and 15th March (salmon and trout opening days respectively) or just one. Should I get an early spring day in up north? Can I afford to fish at all? Is it better to buy a cheaper spring day and a couple of summer days on prime salmon water or book one autumn day?

It is the same every year; I just never know what to do - and the danger is that I end up doing nothing.

It is very frustrating!
