Two trout taken on nymphs in the faster glides. Nice hatch at around 11.30 had fish rising. Numerous takes ,unfortunately none to the net.All in all a lovely day on the river.

Fished a salmon rod intermittently today but mainly fished for trout with the gauge at around 1’.
Fish varied from tiny to 12-13”. Mostly caught on top dropper offerings, March Brown spider, Naylor and GRHE. A couple of the bigger ones on a Sunray.
Unusual not to hook any accidental grayling with the trout being so active. All quickly returned.

The river looked superb , but very little fly life, fished hard for 3hrs, covering a lot of the river ,I saw no fish, weather cloudy but not cold, after lunch I changed from nymphs to dry's as the temperature had risen, Bingo 1 small trout caught & released, on a 16 Adam's,
On my way back, I did see some fish rising but by now I was too wacked out,
Enjoyable, but exhausting.

Two salmon lost. One to the net. Mill Pool. Top of Gravel catch inder the copper beech. Low to mid "teens"
Room for improvement!

Three fish hooked, but all lost close to the net. One of those days. Nice beat. Lots of different pools, riffles, runs and features.

Hour in the evening, no sign of any fish

Survived the assault course. Mainly nymphing up to footbridge. Water at good height & clear. Not a fin seen, but dippers were busy & bluebells out.

Arrived at about 9am to a nice South Easterly wind blowing from the far end of the lake to the boat house. Weather during the day was dry with intermittent cloud cover with the occasional fish rising. Around 35 fish landed between the 2 of us with a couple of fish in the 10 to 12 inch size. Fish mainly caught on Black Bibio Hopper, Silver Invicta and Black Pearly Nymph.

Great first day out of the new trout season.

Mix of bright sun and cloud with a fair breeze. Water clear. Not much going on in terms of rises despite a bit of bug life. 1 10" brownie returned and just 1 more bite. Chicken tikka made a nice lunch. Would have liked to stay longer to see if things got busier. Lovely day to be out and about.
