Totally opposite day to the previous day. Really cold and raining and the river starting to rise from all the rain. No hatch to witness. I had a fish of about 1lb on a small streamer pattern but that was it. The difference in temperature seemed to put the fish off and kill the fishing. (so I left mid afternoon). Amazing bird life though with marsh harrier, Red kite, the first swallow and sand martins of the year and an Osprey!

When the clouds cleared the sun came out and it felt like the first day of summer, really warm (too warm for chest waders). I fished the top pool which is really the only pool worth fishing for trout on the beat. First there was a grannon hatch, then march browns and then large yellow stonefly. Had 3 the biggest was 2 lbs on Large dark olive dries and emergers.

Actually trout fishing. Fished nymphs and spiders from 12 until 4 without success. Thin spattering of LDOs at about 1pm, no MBs that I saw, and no rises.

Very hot and bright day - no rises or fish showing, even into the evening. Difficult fishing.

Was meant to fish all day but didn't manage to get to the river until 5. it was overcast and warm but surprisingly little fly about. I had 4 fish up to 1lb weight two on a spent gnat and two on a sedge, all fish were returned safely.
Lovely evening thank you.

Beautiful river but weather a bit too beautiful for fishing, sunny cloudless and hot. Wide river presumably almost on summer levels but still had very deep pools and good flow in glides and riffles. Good varied features to explore. Sporadic patches of small-ish rising fish that would take surface flies and enjoyed a baby sunfly. Only saw larger trout rising in deep water in evening when I had to leave. Good shady spots to rest and observe. Sandmartins in profusion flying low over water presumably taking midges. Very peaceful. Easy wading and casting. I would love to return in cooler times. Thank you
