Mainly fished dry fly and a duo setup. Netted one small brownie caught on the point fly, a small copper John.
River fairly low comparatively although higher than previous weeks. River provided flats, riffles and pocket water to keep us interested. Fish seen rising above and below the small rapid section in the middle. A lovely spot.

Much better day today, there was a decent hatch of yellow duns during the day and I manged to catch lots on a narrower faster stretch. Nothing of any great size, 1lb that best, but great fun.

Tough day, very low water levels, the slower sections are very slow and covered in clumps of bind weed. Winkled one out though.

River is in poor condition, full of algae and sewage waste. Shame for what seems a lovely stretch of river.

One on and off ! Otherwise nothing doing, terribly low river.
Went home early to watch Lionesses!

Cannot remember fishing on a day hotter than this. Had zero expectancy due to heat and low water, however caught 4 medium size trout all on GRHE.

Quite a bit of algae on the edge of the water.

Low water, hooked a salmon which was a big surprise aprox 5/6 lbs,but did not land it.all trout 10-14 inches.

Late evening rise was good,but frustrating,hooked just 3 on a ballon caddis dry 16# hook. A few small ones on tungsten in the fast runs.Bridge pool was alive with fish feeding from about 8.45pm. The hatch was impressive,with even the odd may fly,injoyed the swifts taking them in mid air 4-5 ft from my head was brilliant! You really need to stay late ,fished til 10.15 .
My eyes gave up by then. Be nice to have a foot of fresh water,as it’s low. Otters calling on the other bank.
