We have a little river near us that is very small but is still fun to fish for the odd hour here and there. I have fished it several times over the past couple of months at various times to try and discover the best time to go. Yesterday (Sunday) I tried early morning and was surprised to find the river with clouds of colour in the water. After trying a couple of spots, I realised what was causing the colour - Dogs! The full story is HERE.
I assume they were causing all the fish to hide too as I caught nothing in two or three hours I was trying. The river is only shallow mostly only a foot deep but with pools that can be three feet deep. The dogs were running about in it rather than swimming. I think I will avoid early mornings in future, I don't have this problem later in the day - at least not yet!
Anyone else had this problem?
