Nothing caught.

River low but topped up by rain in the morning. Fished a ptn down and across. A few contacts and one lovely brownie landed.

Fished around lower limit 1.30pm to 5.30pm. Had six takes, including good-sized fish that leapt before throwing my hook. Half the time with klinkhammer trailing small nymph, and the other half wet flies. Didn’t see any fish rising but a few backflips, which suggests to my amateur eye they are eating something just below the surface. Clearly my hook setting needs some work.

1 small brown taken with wet fly. Some large riding fish near lower limit in the afternoon, but failed to entice them with dry flies. Beautiful place to fish.

Lots of rises, but could not find the right fly or cast to hook them!

Very little action. Not surprising after a hot day. Lovely spot will try again when conditions are more favourable.

Evening session - First time on this beat for me. River was very low. Not much activity when I first arrived however it did liven up after 7pm with fish rising along the banks . 3 trout taken and returned on a parachute Adams in the faster water. Largest was 15 inches.

River in good condition, picked up a small WBT early in the day a little down from the bridge on PTN. The top part of the beat is very nice and accessible, the Bridge Pool produced produced the second fish, about 1.25lb on the same fly. Missed another as well. Access to the rest of the beat is not easy apart from right at the bottom of the beat, here you can access and work your way up…. Which was nice but no fish, although a few rising.

The spinner fall failed to materialise but as consolation I lost the biggest trout of the season so far on a barbless 18 emerger. Hey ho, as my son said, these barbless hooks are easier to extract from your finger and you’ve lost much bigger salmon…
