Not a touch today, very warm, no rises. Lovely quiet location.

River low. Very warm day. No rises at all even with plentiful hatches. Used duo in margins, one trout about 10ins beautifully camouflaged then another take by deep pool on the bend, but came off. Plenty of fry to be seen, perhaps their main diet!
Caution, don't park in the field as livestock are around.

River had a nice flow and was pretty clear but didn't spot a fish or see a fish rise all day even though there were mayfly sedge olive trickling off. Tried various drys nymphs to no avail. That said it's a sunning beat.

No fly life.big water and strong downstream wind. Winkler two lovely fish out on nymphs fished deep.

Arrived at 7.30am and was set up and ready to fish by 8am. Weather was great for 30 minutes and then the heaviest rain that I have experienced for some time continued for the next two and a half hours. The river is very high and very coloured which made fishing quite difficult. Unable to cross the river by wading due to fast flow so decided to go to the bridge to cross only to find that it was partially washed away and could not be used.
I am not experienced at river fishing in these conditions and so called it a day at 11am. Other anglers may have been able to catch something but sadly not me.
The river and the location are stunning and I look forward to being able to fish it in more favourable conditions.

River was very low so there was only really one or two pools that were fishable. Lost two good-sized trout.

I fished the upstream of the stretch of river I did see what I thought was evidence of fish coming to the surface but caught nothing trying both wet and dry flys. It has better conditions for trout deep pools and over hanging tree with some nice gravely bits.

There was however quite a bit of flood damage

River quite shallow with very deep pools no adult fish evident anywhere the water was very clear some flood damage and fallen trees I used mainly nymphs and I tried a black spider dry fly in the afternoon. the stretch was teaming with fry from 2cm to 5cm

the service I got from Fish passport was great i emailed to say i might not be able to attend and the response was immediate ad the advice was clear

Nothing at all, water was very clear and clean,lots of flood damage,only saw one trout near farmers storm damaged bridge. Wind was causing all sorts of problems for me, but it is a lovely beat . Maybe not many fish after last summers drought ? But most probably me ! Will be back, many thanks
