Hot, sunny day with a brisk downstream breeze. River on its bones. Fished the upper riffles of the beat with a PTN and took one small WBT. Walking down the beat, spotted numerous trout lurking in the shade of the deeper water under the trees. Casting from the bank is well-nigh impossible and access into the water down the steep banks is difficult for me. Given the low water conditions, best option was to walk back to the top of the beat and then head over the exposed rocks to the lower end of the riffle, wade into the middle of the stream and cast back to the bank. Exciting sight fishing. PTN again attracted much interest; pricked a few but had two lovely WBT around the 12" mark

All four fish were very small. Could not find the bigger ones.

Changeable weather. One minute sunshine, the next, torrential rain and wind. All trout, including one really good fish came to small dry flies during a short rise in the afternoon. I like this a beat because there is a good variety of water, it's very accessible and only extends to half a mile.

All fish taken on dry flies - largest 16". Rising fish for most of the day. Most enjoyable day and lovely beat.

Caught 5 on dry fly and 4 on wet flies. All but one small healthy fish, one large one. Not much rising. One angler caught all 9 using the same methods and flies as the other. Guided session with Oliver Burch.
