Recent clear nights have dropped the water temperature but it has risen a couple of degrees during the day. Wading wet gives a rude awakening at the start of the day but is not too bad by lunchtime. Farmers on the Pomahaka have formed a water care group to improve the water quality of the river and already an effect can be seen in the clarity of the water. I happened to fish the Pomahaka earlier this week. After losing one fly in the willow and numerous hook-ups, the fish took the nymph and was landed at 1pm.
