What a total waist of money

All fish returned 6 on drys LDO and 3 on nymphs
Lovely hatch of fly midday

With the upper river having dropped significantly, putting a salmon fly through the few deeper pools was unsurprisingly unproductive.
Small numbers of olives were hatching throughout the day though from 10.30 onwards. The fishing was very good when the temperature rose, but ceased when it clouded over and the temperature dropped a few degrees.
Fish came to a variety of nymphs and emerger patterns with some of the trout taking a dry Adam’s as well.A mix of sizes, some shots, a few parr including a salmon parr , but also trout to 12” and a few big grayling in lovely condition. Mostly taken from the top of the beat.

Lovely beat, lots of different areas to fish and stunning weather. A decent hatch around 1130, didn't last long and little evidence of surface feeding. Helen had one fish show interest in dry fly after lunch but otherwise nothing seen.
Beat map could be updated as there is a large island, 100-200m long where the river splits, downstream of the pylons.
Great beat and look forward to visiting again.

Intense March Brown hatch from about 12pm lasted about 40 minutes and resulted in 6 fish between us on spiders. Only one fish was below 13" and two were at least 16". There was no action for the rest of the afternoon.
