Blimey, how fantastic P. Nice photo as well, like the newspaper idea, I am sure we would have believed you anyway.

Sorry P, I had reports of sightings of May's from some reputable sorts on our waters on opening day (1/4/09).

Bearing in mind we also had a quite sizeable hatch in October I have no idea what's going on...

Nice going, haven't seen one so early before. Also good to see theTelegraph being used as a floor rag - as it should be!

MrP gets excited about these things because he spnds so much time where he is only ever likely to see midges. We must humour him.

Yes, P quite few small hawthorns on the wing today.

Some magnificent hatches of Grannom on the Lower Test yesterday and today. They have been getting steadily better over the last five years at Nursling.

still going strong - pull your pupae out and get to the river.
