Evening session on upper half of the beat. 6 fish to the duo method, biggest 47cm. The water here is nice and cold - 14 degrees.

All fish caught on dry dropper techniques. All fish returned.

Slow start early doors, just picking up the odd fish from every other run. By 1pm we figured out where the fish where happiest feeding and we slowly started to pick up fish consistently for the next few hours. Lost a nice fish of about 3lb, average size for the day was 25-30cm. Stunning water, brilliant fish, highly recommend!

Two browns taken on nymphs. Apparently didn’t have the dry’s they wanted.

Quite a few fish rising as there was fresh water in the river. Caught two on dry Daddy. Nothing doing using nymphs. Lovely evening.

Evening ticket - fished 6:15-9:15. Stunning looking beat as always - the end of a very hot day, still over 22deg on starting.
A few fish showing, so switched to dries quickly. Rose several good sized (2lb+) fish at lower end of beat, some turning away after nosing the fly, and a few splashy takes - all frustratingly missed. Finally had an 8" WBT to hand - probably the smallest fish seen all evening. Low, clear river - but still one of the most stunning stretches around.
A flock (8-10) of goosanders half way down was not encouraging.

River very low and nothing much moving. I saw a parade of nine goosanders - spectacular, but maybe they had something to do with the lack of fish.
