Great to be out on a lovely early spring day. A couple to nymphs, but there was a 10-15 minute window at about 3pm when the trout switched on to March Browns and I had 3 takes of a big DHE style fly in 10mins, two stuck - best probably 15". A few minutes later - all over. Well worth the couple of miles walk!

Blanked, but nice to get out.

Lovely stretch of water, although levels were pretty low. Water very clear and weather was sunny and hot which I think resulted in seeing little activity on the water - i.e. no rises at all.
Small trout caught at the lower end of the beat in faster moving water, olive wet fly pattern.
Lovely location for a few hours fishing.

A lovely stretch of river. No fish caught probably down to our lack of skill

River very high and coloured after heavy rain.

Spent an afternoon teaching a friend how to fish and I think it's safe to say he is hooked, after he caught a very small but very exciting trout! Water was a good level, slightly murky, and apart from a brief bit of rain, decent weather.

A quick evening fish on a beat new to me. Stuff downstream wind did not help and rapidly falling temperature limited the evening rise. Two fish netted, largest a good 16 inches. Both fell to simple CDC emerger with no body, just with thorax and upright wing. It has accounted for every fish risen or caught on my last three outings.

Warm day, but cooler than yesterday and overcast (around 20C) - a bit of a breeze whipped up around 7pm and there were spots of rain as we drove away. Fished from 5pm for two and a half hours. Water was low and clear, not much moving. A couple of pulls from small-ish feeling trout on PTNs, but nothing more and no evening rise today - likely the changeable weather had something to do with it.
Very pleasant beat and we enjoyed a picnic overlooking the main pool.

Sunny with some trout rising briefly in the glide in the late afternoon. Small hatch of pale UWF and gnats.
