Weather warm and sunny, with an annoying upstream breeze

Fished from the bridge up, looking for rises. Found some nice trout 12-14 inches in one pool catching five of this size. The next pool had smaller 6-8 inch fish caught three of those.

Other than that the river was very quiet with few rises.

Total blank. Really nice beat with stunning scenery but unfortunately we didn’t see one fish rise. Walked most of the beat but only rewarded by the fantastic scenery.

4 decent sized trout, two about 16-17 inches and two probably pushing 21-22 inches. All in good condition and returned safely

Contact nymphing and duo. Fish between 11” and 18”. Three other good fish slipped the hook.

very light showers late morning turning to sun, river in great condition, tried nymph's and spider covered a lot of river not a bite, insect life from 12.30am to 1.30pm saw only one rise. Will be back soon.

The river looked superb , but very little fly life, fished hard for 3hrs, covering a lot of the river ,I saw no fish, weather cloudy but not cold, after lunch I changed from nymphs to dry's as the temperature had risen, Bingo 1 small trout caught & released, on a 16 Adam's,
On my way back, I did see some fish rising but by now I was too wacked out,
Enjoyable, but exhausting.

Nul points, despite Euro-nymphing.... Beautiful place to spend Mayday, though.

Had to work hard for my fish, despite apparently good water conditions and rising temperatures. Using nymphs (except for an interlude trying to tempt 2 or 3 rising fish with a dry fly around lunchtime) I caught one early on. Then nothing until I hooked a much bigger one about 3.30pm, which after 3 or 4 minutes of lively fight dived behind a rock just upstream of me, and shed the hook.

Lovely day but not a bite and only 1 rise spotted. Water clear, leaders long, tried nymphs of different weights , spiders and emergers in the quieter spots. All to no avail . Stuck around the bottom half of the beat. Chicken and ham pie from butchers in Ledbury today.
