River still very low. No salmon seen. 3 small trout caught on salmon fly.

Despite having risen 30cm after Thursday’s rain the river was still low (0.8m on the Erwood gauge, dropping 5cm during the day). This gave good access to the pools but the flow at the bottom of the beat was a bit too slow to swing a salmon fly. There were hatches of sedges, olives and larger mayflies, and fish were rising to them. Four trout to 3/4lb but no salmon seen or caught.

Enjoyable day good conditions river low, wind in afternoon. Three out of season grayling 2x10" 1x 4" and 1 small trout 1/2 lbs great spot will return

1 Trout, 3 Grayling

Sunny day but a bit of an annoying breeze. Water very low which gave me a chance to explore the lower end of beat that is normally too deep to wade over the rocks…

All caught on nymphs.

Although we didn't catch anything, we had a great day.
I did hook into a small brown trout, but he shook the hook off before I got the net to him.
A beautiful place for fishing

Fishing with a team of spiders hooked up on first cast with a fish that made off with two of my three flies, then hooked a decent trout, that didn’t come to the net because it was in fact a small fry that I’d hooked, which was in the mouth of the bigger fish who let go when he saw the net. Outside of the faster water my flies and leader we’re constantly picking up green algae from the water. Caught a couple of decent grayling on the spiders, and a few small trout on the dry fly.

Cool breeze and a bit of down river wind. Lovely sunny day but very little sign of fish activity. one small brownie caught on a weighted nymph early in the morning. Great beat and will return

First visit of the year and the weather for once on my side. Water was low as previously stated but there was enough not
to spoil the day. Tried trad wet flies which got a few pulls but lighting quick which I failed to react to. Decided to change to tight Euro nymphing and once I found the right weight brought two nice Grayling. Picked up a small Trout later in the day
and was happy at the end of the day. River does need some rain to bring it to its best.
