A dozen trout and 3 all grayling. All on various small nymphs. A few pale wateries and the odd stonefly. Didn't see a fish rise all day......

Have never fished here when the water is quite so low, with just 5" on the WUF gauge. Quite a lot of gravel has moved since last here as well. Water 15 degrees. The intermittent blustery downstream wind didn't help today, and the almost total absence of any insects made for hardly any rising fish. Had two trout on bugs and "caught" many more cased caddis! The rest of the fish came to Grayling Steel Blue, and size 18 HE emerger and HE and olive Duck's Duns. All bar three were non-risers, so at least some fish were looking up. Trout from 9 - 12" and the ladies 10- 13". A hard day for sure but not too bad given the conditions.

Very low and bright. Couple of rises. Nothing caught.

Water coloured - little rising

Fished from 5pm till 8pm two trout one got off, both took phn .plenty of insect life when the sun came out around 7 pm but no signs of fish rising. what a great place to be on a summers evening.

The river is very low (0.57 on the Erwood gauge) and there is very little flow in the pools to swing a fly. We didn’t see any salmon, but two small trout saved a blank. The sheltered area at the shepherds hut gave very welcome respite from the frequent heavy showers.

1 x Grayling caught Euro Nymphing. River quite low and quite clear. Some surface activity in places.

1 Grayling

7 Trout hooked in all, 4 to the net plus the Grayling. All size 14 PTN with a bit of flash, all in shallow water. Very warm and bright. We both were testing wader repairs- all watertight!
