Still low and clear, warm & bright day. Arrived at 12, with rise in full swing (should have arrived earlier), to emergers I'd say. 4 fish, 13 to 16 inches, on PTN and dun (14) later. Not much hatch, or rise, after 1pm. 1 salmon smolt (5 inches, silvered). 4 ospreys

Lovely spring day,hardly need to say water very low and clear. Fished about 3 hours from the bottom of the beat back to the farm. A few olives hatching and occasional rise in a back eddy. Managed 8 trout on nymph with a couple around 10 inches.

Just me fishing. River looked rather low for spring, despite rain a few days ago? Made for tricky fishing in the daytime with clear water and sunny conditions - trout very spooky. Very few mayflies hatching today, but there were quite a few midges, some very small sedges and a few spinners - managed to get three on small dry flies (missed a few more bites especially from the small ones!), the other came on a nymph. Three biggest were 12-13" fish, all returned as usual. Lots of sand martins back, lovely to see. On the negative side - masses of Himalayan Balsam and Japanese knotweed shooting up again everywhere along the east bank!

A good four hours exploring the pools. A few missed takes on a dry dropper set up. Very quiet on the water. A few very small fish seen feeding towards the end.
