Sunny day but temperature was still low, some insects on the water but not many fish showing. One small fish caught on nymph near bridge and returned.

Another day of biting NE winds with strong gusts made for difficult conditions. River height and clarity were excellent. This was a first visit to this bear for both of us and we tried various methods inclduing spiders, nymphs and bugs. JG contacted an very big brown trout in the shallower margins on an upstream nmph. The fish was in the order of 2lbs and bore marks of a bird attack unfortunately.
At around 1pm a terrific hatch of fly began mainly LDO's and plenty of March Browns which were super to see. Just an odd fish showed interest in what was a brilliant hatch spoiled I guess by the weather. Dry flies failed to produce any response with the fish picking just an odd fly out of the wealth of fly available.
Lovely beat - will return when this awful weather disappears.

Very cold, bright with strong easterly. Good hatch at around 2pm of what I think were March Browns! One 3/4lb fish on wet March Brown. Many thanks.

Covering the water for several hours, moved no fish and neither did the trickle of olives that started coming off around 2pm. It's been a very slow week...

Sadly the weather was so poor (snow and cold!) that I 'flaked out' I'm afraid, so no catches and not even a wet fly!

Artic conditions and snow on the hills. Wagtails and chiffchaffs enjoyed a few lunch time LDO's but the trout understandably did not. A useful couple of hours early season casting practice.

Very cold gusty wind made conditions poor and water temp still quite low. No fish caught and only one feeble bite all day. Should fish well as temperatures rise.

Nil. No hatch, far too cold 3C!
