A decent sized fish 14” from the roadside bank on Bibio.

Overcast with sunny intervals, no wind. River in perfect condition. Huge hatch of olives from around 11:30 to 14:30. Also some March Browns, a short burst of Hawthorn Fly and the occasional Mayfly. Fish rising on the flats at either end of the main pools. No obvious activity in the faster riffles. Lots of fish coming up to my fly but swerving away at the last moment. The occasional take, which was swiftly rejected. Worked through the olive patterns in my fly box. What worked was a standard light olive but on size 16 hook. I think the clear calm conditions on the flats gave the fish too much time to check out my fly-tying skills. Two nice WBT to the net. A thunderstorm at 14:30 put an end to the hatch and the day's fun. It's a long walk in the rain back to the car park at Ashford House !

Excellent day with good water and weather conditions. A good hatch of various olives more or less continuously plus occasional brook duns and many midges. All five anglers succeeded in landing at least one trout each. Fish from 0.5 to 1.5lb and in beautiful condition.
