Lovely way to spend an evening of about 3 hours fishing. Caught 3 small trout the largest of which was about 8 inches long .All caught on red/brown bodied cdc Lots of fly life about from 8 onwards including quite a few mayflies which they didn’t seem bothered about

Who would have anticipated a heat wave in May? It was even too hot for the fly life and no fish rising. 3 WBT up to 13" on dry droppers in the margins of the quicker water. Nice long lunch on the river bank.

A blissful, highly memorable day on a very scenic beat with forest and mountains. Patchy rises, but some beautiful fish up to 2.5lbs. World class fishing. The river came alive with rises late in the evening, but struggled to match the hatch, so only caught about 2% of the fish covered. The torment of Tantalus.

Hot! But still caught!

Tough conditions to start with! Hot but very strong wind . Took a number off the top with sedgehog patterns as there were plenty of large beetles being blown about. When the clouds came in, a bibio in the film took 6 more. Massive thunderstorms stopped me fishing and I beat a hasty retreat!

3 trout caught in very difficult conditions, arrived early and left by 4 pm to hot for me! Water temp was around 15 degrees and fish were rising only once or twice and I struggled to find the right fly the job even after multiple changes. I had success early on mayfly emerger with mayfly coming off then later on size 20 black midge got the other 2. Enjoyable day in the end I will be back at this beautiful beat soon.

Fish were caught on very small emerger flies.

Fly fishing in an amazing mountain lake - walk not too hard, drive is on good road surface but narrow! First ever brown trout caught (and released)! Second also caught and released, both approx 7 inches. 3wt, dries (parachute adams and bibio, size 14 and 12 I think), quite a few black medium sized olives around, and lots of some sort of midges. Fairly regular surface activity

(Evening only) 3 fat, strong fish of 14-15" during extensive evening rise at 9-10pm, on Jingler(14) and Grey Wulff (12). Plenty of fish, and healthy ones, evidently in there; but quite hard to match the rise, even in late evening

Fished from 3:30pm to 9:45pm. A very hot afternoon fishing, with limited fish rising until the early evening, and fly life starting to appear more then as well. Danica and olives hatching. Fish rising on the upper part of the beat in the woods enjoying the shade. 1 fish landed and 1 nice fish lost while landing it, both to a sz18 blue wing olive spinner. Final very nice fish caught in the pool by the rocks below the bridge at dusk, caught on a sz10 nevamis danica.
