Great day. Few grannom and midges trickling off in the morning and odd fish rising in pool tails, things got going when the cloud came over around 12.50 and a trickle hatch gradually turned in to a decent stream of upwings by 1.30....LBD's, LDO's and few Olive Uprights, the odd iron blue . The fish rose hard in the pool tails (but were very sensitive to lining/drag) until the hail started around 14.00.

After it eased at 14.45, the odd fly was still coming off till 15.30 and a few fish rising. Best fish of the day was a beautifully marked 2lb 4ozer, 3 others were around 1.5lb, 2 around the pound and 1 of 12oz. All fish fell to dry, 2 were lost on nymph.

All trout bar one in the 1 .75 to 2lb mark and all fought hard. Lost several other good sized fish too. Heavy grannom hatch from arrival (11am) to around 3pm with lots of trout rising in the steadier water. Grannom emerger patterns and flashback nymph worked best.

A lovely day on the river but no fish. Bright sunny conditions and low water.
Only saw half a dozen rises all day but did see a large Salmon in one of the pools

Fished the river on one of the hottest days of the heatwave and not a lot stirring. Some of the local residents decided to swim in the river to cool down and ended any chance of landing a few. Beautiful river though and an evening or early morning session would have been fantastic. Only slight annoyance is the nearby road and hearing the cars and occasional truck makes it harder to forget you’re not truly out in the “wild”.

No fish but only a very short evening session. Sporadic hatch but seems to intensify after I had packed up (as ever). Rose one very substantial fish on an emerger. Will be back and next time will fish until it is truly dark!
