Sunshine and light showers. River very low. Water at top of beat most promising. 4 trout and 1 salmon parr landed, many other fish bumped off. Saw many good trout in very shallow water half way along the stretch. Fish rising sporadically throughout the day. Parking and access very good.

Fished 11.30 to 1600. Blue sky to start , cloud building and complete cloud cover by 15.00. Warm to start but temperature fell around 3 pm when total cloud cover moved in. Wind light and variable. Went all round the clock. Olives hatching sporadically producing similarly sparse rises. Main action 13.00 to 1.30. Hooked 4 and landed 3 super feisty trout around 1.5 - 1.75 lbs. Failed to connect with about half a dozen more slashing takes. Fish were risen by targetting rises and likely seams with dries. Most rises were 'oncers' . Flies used were Olive Comparadun, Paraloop Spinner and CDC F Flies. A superb day to be on the river. Highly enjoyable.

Fished with a fellow member rod today with only 6’’ on the gauge, but we had fish from the off and caught steadily through the day finishing at 5.30ish.
Ferry down to the bridge was very productive but with a lot of trout parr beating bigger fish to the fly.
Later on, 13 trout to 14’’ and 3 large grayling to 17’’, plus lots of small fish were caught along the length of the spring pool to the hut, with two good size trout on the same cast on two occasions.
All caught on a team of wets and nymphs and quickly returned. Nothing caught on the surface and barely saw a rise all day.
The only downside was that the wading on the heavily algae covered bedrock was treacherous in places and a number of clatterings could easily have resulted in a broken wrist so care is needed.
