Quite an exposed beat, and it was a sunny day, which perhaps put the fish down a bit. Did not see the response I expected to a decent LDO hatch 1400-1500, and there were also some grannom about. Could not tempt a fish on a dry fly or spiders, but got five on a tungsten nymph, mostly in the seams of riffles, biggest being just shy of 2lb. Again, orange tag was the best performing nymph by miles. On reflection, I should have tried a streamer on a sinking line in the one really deep section of the beat, just upstream of the bridge.

A bright sunny with welcome warmth after the lingering winter. About 0.55 on Trallong gauge saw river clear with good flow. Access above farmhouse difficult but some lovely water. Very tricky to fish. Easier to fish downstream of farm. Didn’t have time to visit upper stretch. Incredibly scenic beat but no hatch to speak of and not a rise or fin to be seen all day.

No fish seen, very wet and very cold.
