Slightly cooler day but still bright and sunny in the morning. Again no hatch and only one or two fish rising. River very low. 5 fish caught using French Leader, one on duo. All on nymphs.

River low and clear as expected – some slime starting to appear, care needed when wading. A trickle of flies – brook duns, olives and large stone flies - came off until about 2pm and fish rose sporadically. A few were rising in the glide in the first pool we got to so I sat tight and made like a heron once I was convinced there was a persistent riser. The first few casts were wayward but then a better effort put the para dry olive right in the groove and up he came…. A lovely fish of around 17 inches. But that was it for the day, no other fish came to our flies.
Was that a mayfly I saw who had not looked at the calendar?
The day ended with lamb wrestling – as we drove away down the narrow road we were faced by a lass coming towards us in pursuit of a lamb who had escaped in to the road. I jumped out of the car and waited to see what he would do…. He froze momentarily so I seized the moment and before he knew it he was over the fence and back in the field with his Mum and chums. He piddled down me to say thanks……

Super day! Easterly wind made it a bit cold but it warmed up later.
Such a shame there is no boat especially as there is a super restored boat house.
We would always pay for a boat hire if there was one.
