A tough day on a promising bit of water. Weather was belting - 20deg+, a little breeze and water levels reasonable throughout the beat. Fished from 12-5, covering most likely bits of water. It proved to be a difficult beat to figure out - mainly gravelly bottomed with lots of very deep holes and pools. With nothing rising all day (too bright and not much obvious fly life?) it was tricky to decide what methods to use. The duo didnt produce much, and dry fly was similarly unsuccessful. Deeper nymphing might've been more productive with all the deep spots. Im sure there are some stonking fish in here, but on the day it was fairly quiet and a little frustrating. The parking at the bottom appears to have been blocked off by the farmer also - might be worth looking at.

River low. Very warm day. No rises at all even with plentiful hatches. Used duo in margins, one trout about 10ins beautifully camouflaged then another take by deep pool on the bend, but came off. Plenty of fry to be seen, perhaps their main diet!
Caution, don't park in the field as livestock are around.

Fished the bottom section for a few hours first thing, trout all the same size, about 6 ozs but fun to catch as missed several and a tiny grayling, all on nymphs.
