Lots of Stone flies and Caddis hatching steadily most of the day. Down stream wind made it interesting but not impossible

Beautiful day. The river was slightly up from the previous few days but still crystal clear and the blue sky and sunshine made things tough. No sign of moving fish so I fished single nymphs under yarn. I managed 3 fish in a couple of hours but it was no picnic.

Fished the evening after a day of drizzle and rain.
Stunning beat, flanked by ancient oak trees and mossy banks.
Wading is challenging, mainly bedrock and some deep fast pools, be extremely careful, take a wading stick.
Had five fish, nothing big, lost another four. Klink, PTN etc... Saw a salmon, or a large trout leap and the tail of Quarry pool.
Fished until dark, but didn't make it to the top of the beat.
The perfect beat if you like it challenging and wild. Probably the most unspoiled fishing I have had in the UK.

River low and clear. Both12” fish caught to PTN and Holy Grail late morning. Very little action otherwise.

Very quiet with few rises. Fish easily spooked and no luck with nymphs in faster water. Very picturesque.

Started fishing 6pm after heavy cloud burst. Nevertheless steady rising fish in pools and riffles. All fish caught on dry fly adams 14 and 16

Abundant insect life and lots of different species. Pale yellow mayflies hatching all afternoon. On the whole, difficult to spot what they were rising to thought did see several mayflies taken mainly close to the far bank.
Got 3 on nymphs: ptn and he.
Main entrance gate across from the lay-by a challenge: multi-knotted plastic string impossible to undo so it was a climb over and avoid barb wire job. Waders are expensive!
