This was a new beat for me and chosen as river running very high in the middle reaches. I walked a good part of the beat and sat watching the river for 2-3 hours but not a single rise seen and a solitary olive was all I saw and so did not even wet a line. It is beautiful stretch though and one I will return to in May when more fly may be about. (Strangley enough I then went downstream to a middle reach club water where the river was very high and had superb sport in great olive hatches)

A challenging day. River a chocolate torrent, chilly and rainy! It was still a lovely day out though!
Just managed one oos Grayling between us. Hooked two little trout, but both escaped the net.

River was quite high, difficult wading in places. Access along the beat is tricky in places. Nice stretch of water - Had a few rises to a dry fly but nothing stuck

1 bite all day

Not a bite… tried spinning, bottom fishing and nothing doing. Windy and cold could be a reason.
I did witness staff putting stock fish in, but could not assess the amount.

Not even a bite.
Fished worm by float with various hook lengths but no joy today.

No luck today for both me and my grandson
