Very tough fishing today. Not much hatching - the odd mayfly and caddis but just not enough to get the fish feeding, very few rises or other signs. Those we did see were mostly small fish rising to tiny flies - we only had about a dozen bites all day and most of those were on tiny patterns, often in slower water making presentation difficult, and difficult to hook - only one small trout caught. Had one other take during a brief mayfly hatch, was attached to a very good fish of 18" plus for nearly a minute, when suddenly the hook came adrift - not a good hook-up. Frustrating - one of those days! Still lovely to be out, this is a beautiful beat - thanks!

Nothing of any significant size. All taken on dry cdc dun around 11ish. River looking good with plenty of fly life .

1lb trout caught euro nymphing, took the point fly, beaded March Brown nymph size 14, barbless. Returned safely.
The entrance gate was tied shut with barb wire over it so we had to climb over a gate 100m up the road to get down to the river.

We were fishing the beat with droppers and euronymphing. Great weather and some minor hatches and rises.
Caught a couple of 40cm trouts with others being in the 20-25 cm size.
Beautiful beat and part of the river
