I have heard much talk in the past few days about how poor the catches have been. Believe me, this is nothing new. In 1983 there were 4 fish and in 1984 there were 6 fish for the month of August and, if we go back to the year of the REAL drought (1976) we will find that there were only 2 fish taken. I have seldom seen as many fish in the system as there are at present and we should be very grateful that the water temperature did not soar as it did in`76 because that WOULD have been a reason to moan.
