Very hot and very little rising, but beautiful location.

Very warm day and flows were low. Caught chub on dry fly and trout on nymphs. Fantastic day and lovely beat.

Fishing location is beautiful. Stunning stretch of river. Although I had no takes, it was wonderful just being there.

We'd booked salmon rods but with the water on the low side, decided to stick to trout fishing. There were sporadic rises through the day with occasional hatches of yellow mays and olives. We had some good fish on nymphs in the fast water and then at about 6pm the rise started with more fish coming to dries, mostly cdc olive emerger type patterns.
Great beat with easy access and outstanding quality of fish. 10 in all to the two rods ranging from 1lb to 2.75lb but many more lost in the faster water.

Another warm and bright day on the river. no action from any fish all day long. next to no rises and not a single nibble. Tried nymphs, wet, dry, klinks, buzzers. Just as we were packing up to go, the river woke up a little. The odd rise came at about 9pm but was too dark to do much about and struggled to change flies in the dark to give it a go.

Lovely open field with loads of sheep about. Surprised to see some people fishing the opposite bank from around 5pm onwards. The farmer also decided to move a load of sheep around his fields at mid day and drove his tractor across the middle section of the river multiple times, ruining the downstream fishing for a few hours.

A fun day out, nevertheless.

First time on this beat. The tail pool, which is the only real "pool" on this beat, doesn't really take a fly well (but for the tail of the tail, which was a nice cast). So spent most of my time in the run below tail to the bottom boundary. Some really nice fly water down there but can't imagine there are many lies but for a few deep holes. Some seriously nice trout moving (at least two upwards of 3 lb) but no salmon about. Would be interesting to fish the tail in high water I think

A beautiful day in a lovely spot, but a disappointing lack of any kind of hatch made it hard going. A 12in wild brown trout towards the end of the afternoon on the dink end of a klink & dink provided at least some reward.
