No fish caught or seen. Good conditions.

No fish caught. Squally weather and water coloured. Not a nice day to be out.

We appreciated the call from the fishery owner and hope that we catch tomorrow. A good lunch and warm welcome at Chainbridge Inn.

1 Brown Trout on dry Adams. Sole on boot came loose and then lost balance on edge of deep pool and went swimming, Barry called me when I was sitting in pub after change of clothes, kindly offered another set of waders, I ordered another pint !!!

The expected moderation in the heat didn't materialise. Fish rising up to midday then went quiet. Couldn't stay for the evening but well worth the trip. River height slightly down but also slightly brown after rain on Wednesday night. Had a trout swim though my legs but couldn't persuade it onto a fly.

I didn’t catch anything. First time fly fishing. Great views

Nothing to the net but there were trout rising first thing then the sun put them down. We had to leave before 5 and so missed the evening rise which would have been prolific.

The beat now has more access than what is shown on the map- the owner was very helpful and described what is now accessible.

Great set up with the parking and pub. Definitely another beat to re-visit.

The day started cloudy and got clearer and brighter tgroughout. Water was a higher than I have experienced before but still accesible. Plenty of fly life during the day and sporadice rather than regular rises. One on a nymph in the morning at the top of the beat and another in the afternoon. Hooked a decent fishing near the access point on caravan park, but lost it soon into the battle. A lovely stretch and very helpful owner.

Significant trickle of mayfly all afternoon and decided to target big rising fish with dries. Could not get any takers on flat water, but found some good sport in the slightly broken water in the pool upstream of the bridge, solid fish, two over 2lb, two close to it. All on french partridge with a stiff palmer hackle. Decided to try a zonker streamer at 7pm for a change, but nothing doing. There were some big fish close to the bank on the lower part of the beat, but steep and overgrown banks prevented access - and I am pretty intrepid. Will be back, the trout are so fit and feisty.

2 strong brownies, around the pound mark.
Lovely beat to fish!
