Fathers day - so a free pass to go fishing for a few hours! The recent thunderstorm deluge had pushed the Tarrell up to a perfect level for nymphing, and was falling back quickly. I prospected every likely looking pool and pocket for about 2/3 of the beat up to the farm footbridge. Action was non-stop. This river has a healthy population of fish. Plenty of a decent size too.

River at a good height and with fresh water from overnight rain. Big dries fished in pockets and tight to the edges took all the fish. Shame the wind picked up in the afternoon to make presentation very challenging .
Actually lost count of the number of fish which was likely way over the 50 stated. Mostly small but two or three 1/2lb plus fish .

washed off - wild orange torrent!

The access on this beat is a problem. We found three cattle crossings flanked by multiple stranded Barb wire fences. The first two were passable with difficulty. The final one defeated us. No way round on either bank due to yet more Barb wire, cattle on the one bank and horses on the other.
The top third of the best was effectively off limits.
One WBT and a few missed rises between the two of us.
