A frustrating mornings fishing - could not get to the water, bar one small part, which I waded across to the other side. River edges completely over grown! Water low. Walked the whole beat and just could not find a place to get to the water.

I had been pondering the fish I was playing with last week on this beat, so decided to try and find it again… and that I did! Conditions largely the same although slightly more cloud cover, fish held up in the same deep spot, with sporadic lively rises, patience, and perseverance paid off. Caught on a grey duster. Good 1lbs + Brownie ~14inch. Quick picture before I sent it back on its way.

Booked on a last minute whim, hatches have started, water slightly coloured from recent rain, fish holding up in deeper water, rises mainly where I couldn’t get into position, but did get a brownie on a Mayfly Parachute, should have been more but got hung up playing with the one fish instead of moving on. Beautiful evening.

Hot day with the water level down made fishing tough. Not a thing on the nymphs but put a dry on and tried some prospecting and hooked 5 fish, 4 of whom employed a self administered catch and release technique !!

1130-1600 session.
Day with the family and great to show my 3 year old her first brown trout.
Also a day of not getting to see much of what is a nice beat!
Concentrated on the lower more open half of this stretch.
Saw only 1 rise but probably left to early as sun was out by 1600 and looking like a good evening. However an invite for nights sea trouting can’t be missed.

1 brown trout and 1 grayling. Both on a nymph. Unfortunately it was a day when the hook just won’t stick and I lost another 4 BTs.

River full of spring life and well worth going.

Tough going. Managed two small WBT both on deeply fished red tag PTN. No rising fish evident in 6hr session. Cold wind but otherwise decent conditions. Pretty overgrown and limited access in places.
