Two trout to the net, one below a pound in weight the other above. Missed another 3 risers and spooked another two.

Only had the evening to cover the Edwardsville curve. It was sunny and the water levels were low so the fish were in the back deep pools on the foam lines with seemingly slow surface flow.

The fish responded well to a size 18 caddis/olive klinkhmmer 6x tippet with some time to inspect it before rising to it.

Lots of kingfishers, greywagtails and dippers with caddis swarms above the water and black stoneflies dancing.

Two fishing rising and luckily managed to net one which turned out to be a fine 2lb wild brownie which was swiftly released. Caught on a yellow mayfly pattern.

If it wasn't for this fish it would have been a very tough day out trying to find the fish. There are lots of deep pools and sections which scream fish but few were revealing themselves.

Was so disappointing the first day we did not return. It is not rural fishing, nor idyllic.

I prefer to catch trout, not shopping trollies.

Only a couple of hours on the water. A great fish of around 3/4lb caught using euro nymphing tactics, with little seen rising. A tricky stretch of water to wade, but beautiful surroundings.

Mild and over cast with river pretty low and clear. No sign of rises so nymphed for a while but with no success. Around 4ish a few rises spotted so switched to dry fly and one hard fighting 12” Brown Trout taken on a small black F fly. Photographed and quickly released.
