Light rain all day a few bites but nothing caught

1 Trout

No fish caught. Very windy

Day started ok, river running well and clear, two nice brownies about 4inches, both on pheasant tail nymph. From about 11.30am the water started to colour and the level started to increase. By 3.00pm the water was brown, but more worrying was a sewage scum forming on the back eddies.

This is a most beautiful stretch of water, just a little colour, with nice runs and pools . Still a bit cold but a great place.
Having watched Mr Whitehouse on the state of the rivers, last night, the first thing I saw on the river bank was some sanitary towels , but it does not detract from the place as a whole . No fish, tried bead head nymphs , didn't see a fish , didn't touch a fish , just good to be back on the water. If this is the standard of the wild streams when the weather improves it could be a great year as long as there are fish there . My only other observation is this is in the Lugg catchment area and certainly the Lugg always starts badly and comes good late in the season so I hope this is the same .

12 x trout 10-15 inches, spiders Dark Moor Game, Waterhen Bloa and Hare's Lug and Plover. Large dark olives hatching between 12 and 2.

River gauge was 3’ and falling but still a little high and coloured for fly fishing for Salmon when we arrived…that’ll be my excuse for the day. Gave it my best shot but nothing caught except a small trout.
