Yes alot of gravel movment over winter completely filling in and destroyed a good Lie What amazes me is the movment of the Beck over the years, if you look at the top picture from last summer there is a willow bush in the left of the photo, ln the bottom photo the Beck is hard up against this willow moving some around 12ft overwinter.
 
I got the rod out for the first time in a couple of months on a big 3ft peaty river mainly to clear cabin fever. Using big red Francis I was surprised to get a strong pull then later on an aggressive take with a fish on for 15sec before did an acrobatic leap and threw the fly, a fresh looking Salmon of around 10lb that got the heart beating.0
