Doldowlod was not my fist choice today, but the beat that I wanted was already booked. A surprisingly cold morning which, coupled with a low clear river, and bright sun, made for a difficult day. Wasted a lot of time trying to catch rising fish in the bottom meadow; resorting to smaller and smaller flies in an effort to convert the splashy takes into fish to hand. I ended up using flies that were so small that, not only was I struggling to tie them to the leader, when I managed to tie the knot, I could not see the fly in the water if I cast more than 5 yards. As a consequence, the take from the first fish that I caught was felt rather than seen. Nothing from the Gutter, a couple of better Grayling from the top of the beat, and an angler scratching his head as to where all the fish had gone
