Nice day, fished from 10am - 4pm, all fish around 12" and taken on dry fly CDC Olive and Grey Duster from the mid section. Lots of fish activity and there are some big boys in there! 2 taken, I will be back next season.

Fished the previous day at Chainbridge in vain for salmon so fished for trout instead. The beat here is particularly beautiful with abundant wildlife which makes a wonderful place to get away from it all. The trout were particularly wily here but eventually took three small wild browns using a daddy long legs fished on the surface. The trout here are particularly abundant but with the river in spate some of the deeper lies would hold good salmon too. All in all a wonderful days fishing and will certainly be back!

WBT to 12 inches caught on ptn's in the morning and on Adams fished upstream in the afternoon.
First time on this beat and we will be back, it's an excellent beat.

Five brown trout. Lots of fish in river and saw a couple of big trout. Conditions were against me - not a breath of wind and bright sun all day. The fish were very spooky as a result. No salmon seen did try for a couple of hours with the salmon rod but needs a bit of water. Very nice day, thanks.

Fished from approx 10:00 to 20:00 and a very enjoyable experience. All fish taken were small browns, the biggest being about 1/2 lb and all taken on small nymphs primarily bead head hares ears. Water still a little low so access easy. Plenty of salmon movement in the top pool, nothing else lower down.

Wet and windy. Nice rise at lunchtime, Pale Wateries and Blue Winged Olives I think. 5 bites to klinkhammer, BWO dries but none to hand.

Bought a Salmon permit, in case the rains came early, it didnt so fished for trout instead, caught and safely returned 17 brown trout, all on nymphs, fishing in a gale of wind and driving rain. Not the typical day one pictures when trout fishing on a river, but still had a great day, thanks.

5 reasonably sized WBT caught on gold head PTN and hare's ear. Fish rising in early evening despite heavy rain. Hooked several fish on CDC olives but did not get any in the net.
All fish returned in good condition.

Two large clutches of Goosanders as well as the regular Heron presence.

Beautiful stretch, in the morning fished the upper part of the beat. It was very active, lots of fish, all around a 1/1.5 lb. After lunch started on the mid section, first pool but nothing happening - moved down to the crossing point which should have had tons of fish but nothing. Lower section, long deep pools - couple of large fish jumping but did not catch anything. Early evening went up to mid section and this was bubbling from the crossing point up - between the two of us we had approx 30 fish 1/1.5lb. Great sport but no large fish, even after a promise that it had been stocked with 2lb plus fish - overall a lovely day and great sport.
