Very hot, very bright and sunny. Probably the weather for sitting under a tree in the shade with something nice to drink and watch the sandmartins perform their stunning acrobatics rather than fishing. There were at a guess thirty to forty of them wheeling, darting and looking as though they were playing 'tag'. The river was very low and slow and I surprised myself by catching a halfpound brown trout in the streamy water and which was safely returned. Very pretty stretch of river. The top half is a very easy wade.

Blanked on a rather chilly evening. Plenty of fish rising in calm water, though I think mostly small ones.

Apart from a bit of spider action in late pm, nothing happened until 9pm, when there was a good hatch of mixed olives (and some mayflies) and a good rise. Caught 17, 16 and 13 inch fish (largest 2 and a quarter lbs), lost 3 others. Nearly all jumped, and gave good runs downstream. All strong, fat fish, so they obviously are eating something (not just at 9-10 pm)

Beautiful beat. Accessible and easy wading.

Water was only slightly coloured and settling, after two or three days of heavy downpours. Arrived around 10.30, to find an unexpected) salmon angler on the Corner Pool. He left as soon as he saw me! One large salmon revealed itself in the Croy Pool . Brief hatch around 11am . Caught and released one WBT(1/2lb) on sparse, spider pattern.
Rose two others, one briefly hooked. Heavy rain and thunder set in about 3pm . Lovely day .

Lovely beat, lovely day, no fish.

A little windy & cold but river was at a great level.
A very nice easily accessible beat with a nice mixture of pools and rapids.
No fish rising which was probably to do with the temp. One small trout caught on a gold head pheasant tail nymph

Great spot, easy access and lucky with fair weather. No trout seen but a number of salmon were rising by early evening.
