Very hot but beautiful day.
Nothing really rising until about 6 and tailing off by 9 when I had to go home.
Very beautiful beat but lots of bedrock and some quite deep wading so felt soles came in useful ..

I found this beat quite challenging for an evening's fishing. There was a gusty, cold west wind and the river was quite brown from earlier rain (I hope!). Plenty of water in the river making for interesting wading, but not much sign of hatches or fish feeding. With overgrown and steep banks, access to the water was tricky and difficult to cast upstream for a right hander. The "no access" sign on the bottom parking, is quite high up and more visible when coming down the track, than going up. It looks as though this should be great trout water - I will try again in better conditions!

3 trout to around 10oz's, lots of takes on nymph but fish coming off, hard fighting and go balistic when hooked. Lots of water to explore, fish seemed to go off in the afternoon. A bit to breezy for a hatch.

Lovely day but low clear water required delicate presentation. Picked off a couple of fish in the faster water. Fish were choosy.

Low and clear. Occasional fish rising and one lost on a dry fly but tough going!

Mixture of dries and nymphs fished NZ method.
