There is a place on this beat that always has a fish or two rising no matter what the conditions and it was a good job today. I took one on the way up the beat and another on my way back a few hours later, both took a small dry. I did have other chances missing half a dozen rises but I suspect they were only small fish.
This really is a beautiful stretch of water and I found myself standing in the warm sunshine looking up river willing there to be a fish or two rising but it just didn’t happen, very difficult on the dry fly with a noticeable lack of emerging insects on the water. There were a few spinners about though, some of which were bright red.

Hot and sunny, a lot of mayfly and olives coming off. Hard work during the day but plenty of rises in the evening but just couldn’t get them to take!

Was not able to get to the stream until 11:00am and with the clear blue skies it seemed fish had shut down feeding so no fish caught but still a nice out in beautiful weather.

Arrived to find two Kayakers camped on the rocks below the bottom parking spot and finished the day with a family in a canoe and on a stand up paddle board making their way downstream, both pleaded ignorant when challenged but these were well equipped regular paddlers. The fishing was good in the morning until 10.30 am but then shut down, we need some rain to get things going.

Very difficult today, bright, hot, sunny and a low river.
Managed just one trout on a nymph and missed a couple of takes on a dry but there were virtually no fish rising at all. There was a steady precession of upwings from the smallest to the largest Mayfly, Black gnats and the banks were strewn with stone fly shucks in places but the trout just weren’t having it today.
Stunning beat, one of my favourites so I’ll definitely be back.
