Wash off

Always a gamble booking this beat at this time of year, just wanted to make amends for a dismal display back in April ! Alas recent lack of rain had left this stretch of river wanting. The faster water was very skinny and the deeper water was nigh on at a standstill. No hatch, no fish seen or risen, easterly breeze steadily increased and drizzle turned to heavy showers, I got the message.

Beautiful, sunny day. Not a lot of activity on the water. Saw plenty of midges and mayflies, but no rising trout.

No flies, no hatches, no trouts during the afternoon certainly because bright and sunny weather.
Much better in the evening. Nice trouts, bigger than on the Wye.

Northerly light breeze; bit chilly at around 11C; river clear but low; light rain later in afternoon. Strong hatch: some mayflies; lots of brook duns / medium olives; some sedges. During afternoon, some trout rising occasionally, some nymphing. Returned two small brownies (8”s). Great afternoon.
