Perfect sunshine all day and temperature in the teens.
First time on this beat - it is an excellent piece of water and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Only one solid touch all day - at the boil after Gravel Catch on an Ally’s Shrimp on a sink tip.

Will be back!

Bright with a decent hatch of olives, but nothing rose and caught nothing. Nice day, though!

Ideal water conditions, but the 11 - 18 mph Easterly was our fear factor, even if it was upstream.
Olives and the odd March Brown got going from 12 o'clock. By about 1 pm there was a trickle of flies on the water. We selected a sheltered spot. The valley is deep on this beat and there was no ripple on the water. Olives and March Browns sailed downstream unmolested. We saw 7 single rises (oncers) in total without real evidence of what the fish took. Certainly half-hearted rises, compared to the confident vigorous rise forms when fish are feeding. We tried everything under the sun. Spiders, deep nymphing, dry-fly blind casting...the lot!
The fish had different ideas. Lovely day to be out regardless. Sunny, beautiful surroundings, dippers, kites and kingfishers. We will certainly return to this lovely beat.

Was a sunny day with gale force winds. Difficult conditions. Tried nymphing and streamers but no fish caught.
