9” trout caught on a small nymph, very low water, tricky fishing.

Almost no rises but the fish were into nymphs - especially an orange perdigon. Presumably that looks like a caddis nymph in the faster water.

Didn't fish. Too windy.

A little wind and rain today but some fish. The substrate is very slippery.

Too windy to fish.

A beautiful but intimidating beat for an inexperienced angler who has only fly fished the diminutive River Arrow before. As described difficult wading with bedrock and boulders limiting my fishing choices. A wading staff would be a good idea. That being said there was enough for me to go at with a variety of water to fish for the day.
As to the fishing, a blustery wind and squally showers throughout the day made for difficult conditions, my french leader outfit got set aside early on. I had 4 trout and 2 OOS grayling one was a beauty, they are such elegant fish. Taken on a klinkhammer fished as a single dry and also with a dropper. Not for the purists but a first for me I also had a trout on a jig streamer in some really turbulent water. With no hatch and only a couple of rising fish seen due to the weather I assume, I called it a day before the evening, slightly damp but happy. Oh and kudos the person who strimmed the bankside path, that must have been an effort!

Very changeable weather. Downstream wind very blustery. Decent amount of water. Missed takes to small klinkhamner above the bridge on beat 1. Beat 4, several pulls, one hooked and lost (barbless fly and very acrobat brownie), two to the next circa 3/4lb. All to small black gold head hares ear.
