8 x trout 8-16 inches, including three nice fish over 15 inches, on March Brown Jingler, Hare's Lug and Plover, Dark Moorgame. A nasty cold wind today, but a few fish reacted to a hatch of March brown with a few large dark olives around 12.30.

Fished from 8 until 12. No fish caught, and none seen. River was 0.7 on the Byton gauge,and pushing through at a pace. Never fished here at this height and wont be again.

Nothing seen river dropping nicely with good visibility

2 trout on weighted pheasant tail nymph. Beautiful morning with river level quite high but water crystal clear. Spooked several fish. Stunning spot.

lovely beat to fish , water was up a tad and pushing quite hard in places. I have not fished penpont before and loved it , its got it all. very minimal fly a few march browns and ldo's but that was it, all trout of a decent size fell for Czech nymphs. a few lost and snapped by a belter.

All fishes caught with dry fly, large March Brown, including 2 large chubs of 4 pound each. The biggest BT has taken a pretty early Mayfly... Started the day with French nymphing, but didn't take a bite. Another pleasant day, sharing the beat with the owner, who was after salmons.

River high and quick but clear with slight tinge. Air temp 8 degrees on arrival rising to 10.5. Wind slight. Wading interesting in the strong flow.Sporadic rises to MB and LDO; Jingler and Emerger worked well.

Unfortunately I was unable to fish.

Gave the Duhonw a bash this morning , three hours there , was superb fun , River nice height when I tackled up with my usual small streams outfit at about half nine , things looked promising as I left the truck and mooched down to the beat start . . . . . .

I did notice from about half ten some LDO' s already on the move , good to see and maybe boding well for later . . . I initially fish a single gold head nymph , Holy Grail , and my first Duhonw brownie was from the tail of a deep pool great little scrapper , and about eight inches , looked tubby and in great shape , seeing as its so early here , and the water was still cold . . . .

Second fish of the morning was further up , near the first bridge you come too , with the strange array of culverts under the bridge to release the water , great scrap again , this time tail of that pool , on the Parachute Adams , really hammered it too , again about eight inches , I was a little surprised , but there was a good smattering of Olives by then , probably mid day ish !!!

I did do a kick sample of the river bed into my net , and its full of life , lots of gammurus , and stonefly creepers , the odd caddies ; great to see . . . A really fun three hours , will be back when it warms up here , and I think surface sport will be fun , if the one I had on the top was to go by , spot on. Back soon !!!!!!
