River slightly warmer but still low & clear. Cold NE wind kept fly life and rising fish to a minimum. Euro nymph tactics produced the fish with Perdigon and GRHE nymphs sharing the honours. One thing of note was a double take resulting in 2 brownies being netted together. Also landed to hand 4 smolts - all returned safely.

River low and clear. Only a few sporadic rises so persevered with Euro nymphing. Majority of fish came to a #16 Copper John on the dropper.

Second visit to this beat and always an interesting water. Firstly came across a recently dead young sheep on the bankside. Informed a nearby house and later in the day, it was recovered. Weather was far better then the Saturday with a light wind and clear blue sky. Plenty of water to play with and Armies Pool had a lot to offer. Again soft hackle MB nymph took to the
interest of the Trout. Lost two good fish but after letting pool rest came back and picked up two to the net. A very small Salmon Parr took a spider pattern on the dropper. Water very clear but with some colour. A lot of deeper water at Gravelly Pool and care is needed, as I did take a small fall but only a wet arm.

River very low and water gin clear. All of the grayling were decent size but the trout were tiddlers. Black Pennell favoured by most.

Cold, clear water, plenty of it but waiting for a top up, nothing moving of any species, good practice.
