Overcast, cool, drizzly with steady south east breeze. Started fishing at 1pm at end of 3rd meadow, not much hatching, few fish rising. Caught 2 trout on nymphs fished deep. Fished up to rapids then returned to bottom of beat, caught 1 shad on stickfly - about 1 3/4 lbs. Intermittent rises but no persistent feeders. 1 grayling of 10 inches in fast water to walkers sedge. Total 2 trout, 1 shad, 1 grayling, 1 dead lamprey. Not many fish but very interesting day.

Bight sunny day, fair bit of fly life on the water but very few risers. Fished the afternoon to early evening for 3 fish around the 6-8" mark. Lovely spot.

Good fishing, water like glass, very hot and bright. 2 small brown trout and 1 salmon parr. Did not like the booking fee.

A beautiful day on a beautiful river – challenging fishing though and only managed one wbt and one grayling of any size all day. Both on goldhead PTN.

Very hot day no surface activity despite a lot of hatches. A few grayling caught and a few trouts.

Nothing moving. No sign of any fish at all. Not a sausage. Fantastic location though and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Will go back.

3 x 8" WBT plus 1 grayling caught and released but several lost. On arrival looked like the perfect day, a lot of flies over the water, as throughout the day but few rises. At dusk the air and the water was alive with flies but no rises except for a lone salmon splashing regularly in the Erwood pool.

1 x 1lb brown trout caught and taken. Sedge. A number of rises but fish generally not taking a surface fly.

Was very hopeful given that conditions appeared pretty good and fish were being taken on nearby beats. There's some pretty nice water here and I fished hard for nearly 12 hours. However all I had to show for it was 1 fat chub of pushing 5lb, a monster grayling (never had one of those on a streamer before) that must have been better than 2lb and several trout. Shouldn't complain as 2 of those fish would have been bona fide specimens in a different situation. No salmon touched or seen however unfortunately.

Fishing beat with 3 friends. Huge expanse of water after the day before on Escley. River dropping during the day but challenging wading in parts - great care and a stick needed. Only 2 fish - 1 WBT and 1 Grayling. Hatching (and rising) sporadic and in tune with the wind..
