Small trout caught on dryfly. Fishing quite slow with very few rising fish. Weather was changeable with a cold wind and showers in the afternoon. River had a slight opaque colouration and the flylife was sparse. All the fields had been cut for sileage recently and there may have been some run off the previous night although not being local I don't know what the weather was like. There were quite a few dead signal crayfish on the bed of the river in the lower sections of the beat. I don't think they were discarded moulted exoskeletons but didn't see any signs of otter predation....

This was our first time on the beat and we thoroughly enjoyed it. What agreat spot.

Really enjoy fishing on the Lyepole, one of my favourite beats. Water levels low with the weather. Nice steady amount of fish throughout the day caught on beaded nymphs using a mixture of klink and dink and french nymphing. Around 4:00 a small mayfly hatch started to occur. Fish didn't really switch on but bought two up the the dry fly but didn't manage to put them in the net. A good day, most fish on the small side on this trip.

Very hot day. Also many people were bathing in some of the pools. Nothing rising and nothing caught.
Many native crayfish evident.

After a break of 2 years due to building my house and illness, it was nice to get back on the river. Rewarded with rising 3 fish in the first 4 casts but not connecting, a bit rusty I think. Soon got into the swing of things though and finished up with 4 trout to a grey duster so pleased with my first few hours after a long break

Two small Brownies taken on a GRHE nymph. Beautiful and tranquil location.
