1 Carp of just over 12lb for me. 1 bream of around 4lb for my fishing partner. Lovely day despite poor weather conditions.

Nothing seen or caught. 3 feet of visibility and 1’6 on the gauge for most of the day.

Enjoyable day. River up a bit but clear enough to see where I was wading and plenty of fishable water therefore . Weather changeable and few rises. Caught the small brown on a pheasant tail nymph with red thorax in medium running water half way down the beat. Had few more bits on similar fly.

Aside from the briefest of MB hatches on arrival at 11.45 the river was dead. No further fly and no interest whatsoever in a variety of nymphs presented in some very fishy looking lies. Not helped by truly appalling wind, rain and slowly rising river. Looking forward to a return in more benign conditions.

Brutal conditions… downstream wind, hail storms, no meaningful hatch and no trout rising… except for one hungry fish sipping down a late afternoon trickle of olives. 19” and 2lb 12. Was worth turning blue for.
