Did not fish.

Bright sunny day and water was quite low.

1 WBT of 11 inches caught on a PTN in a deeper pool near the middle of the beat.

Plenty of mayfly spinners in the evening, and the fish were rising to mayfly in the day. 14 fish caught on Grey Wulff and Bazz’s Mayfly.

Cooler windy day but some mayfly hatching made for a good afternoon. All fish really well conditioned and good Ave size for a little river. 1 to nymph when it was quiet the rest large dries cast to rising fish. All fish returned.

River water levels reducing and water slightly muddy. Sunny warm day 18 c mild gusty breeze. Healthy hatches of many river insect species. Some branch clearance has made fishing easier - thank you - but stock fencing made access tricky over barbed wire. Dry flies used - mayfly imitation patterns. 4 healthy trout caught and returned
One six inch trout
Two 7inch
One 8 inch
Also a freshly dead 9 inch trout was found in the river with what seemed likely to be otter bite wounds on it. Too wide for a mink. Lovely river and surroundings

I only covered the top half of the beat over a couple of hours midday. Water levels quite high and strong flow. No rises or action but a nice beat and I would return.

Had a few hours free to check out this beat in a setting unfamiliar to me, very overgrown and only accessible by walking along the stream bed itself. Knew the water would be low after the hot weather, but didn't expect it to be that low! Had a nice walk along the beat length and saw a few small fish but nothing worth pursuing. Nice secluded spot, I imagine a good spot at other times of the year.

Very low water levels made this incredibly tricky. Only some parts of the beat were fish able. X2 trout sighted and lost.

Ten wild brown trout on the dry fly. Reasonable amount of mayfly and spinners and all quiet by about seven.
