Fished from 0630pm until about 9pm. Connected with 5, landed 0 (operator error I fear).

A great beat. Don’t think I even covered half in the time I had. Will be back.

3 seasons in 1 day! Overcast, then rain , then wind , followed by bright sun. Thought it would bring the bugs out but they were having a day off.
Water low and clear.
Very few rising fish, fished until 9.30pm . Hooked 2 (1 nymphing, 1 on a crippled mayfly pattern) but both shook the hook.

Its been a long time since I fished this beat and it was nice to return i had a very pleasant day aside for an encounter with hogweed which has left me with a blistered wrist ( I think this is behind the fallen willow about half way down the beat )
all fish caught were returned, fished nymphs upstream all day few mayfly knocking around yellow mays and few other tiny black things
river was carrying a bit of colour
all in all a good day ( apart from the hogweed )

18 Trout, 6 Grayling

Fished from 6pm till dusk nothing through ripples with a ptn.All caught after a bite to eat and washed down with Henry Westons vintage cider. What an enjoyable break (two grumpy old men sat on the river bank putting the world to right!!) back to fishing, between 8.30 and 9.15 caught 6 including one very nice 15" all on a variation of spent may fly. Another memorable evening.

It all kicked off at about 8pm. All on emergers or CDC Spinners. Sorry to say, 5 takes did not get hooked up- too easily distracted!. They seem to like white CDC. Best to move away from the access points below the footpaths as these are popular with dogwalkers. PLenty of room for everyone.

The longest day no less- fished until dark. Started with a pint in the Bell. Fished from 3pm tp 5pm with only 1 fish caught . Took comfort from Ploughman's pork pies by Gaynan's of Ledbury and some Weston's vintage. Got going again, taking it easy until it was ham roll and cider time, then it all kicked off. Fish were going nuts. 7 dry, mainly emergers and CDC spinners size 18-20. 2 wet on PTN. Largest fish went to JD of Malvern at 14". Smallest 8", rest 10 and 12".

Having not fished this beat before we walked the beat in the morning and fished in the evening. River was coloured . Viz was about 6 inches. We started about half way down the beat and fished upstream with dry flies and nymphs suspended underneath. My son Jon had a nice 12inch brownie on a snipe and purple w. We both had lots of rises but no more connections. Lot of fly life including mayfly.
