Well a dank dismal morning so headed for the Whittern beat , arriving at half eight , a lot cooler today, nice to be honest. River refreshed and a slight rise and a tinge to it as I tackled up . . . Walking back down the road sneeking along the edge of the corn field and in to the river.

Fished a Para Greenwells the whole two and a half hours and only did between the two bridges . . . . No no , actually I lie like Pinocchio ; I fished just up passed the Titley Bridge along that lovely dry fly series of runs and picked up two good fish along there !!

Fishing was good fun and lovely takes to the dry thus morning, Only cast to one riser and had him , the remainder were caught prospecting my dry in trouty looking locations. . . . . I must say two takes were very subtle in the glides, and one was a cracker of the fish , maybe thirteen inches or so , superb run around on the two weight rod !!!

I must admit after a couple of hours even my sprightly dry fly was looking a bit bedraggled and even a sprucing up and gink didn't seem to improve it ! But maybe it was just what the brownies wanted , they still hammered it in that last series of trouty runs . . . Lovely job . Fish today ranged from the usual tubby Arrow eight inch brownies, right up to the decent one of thirteen inches I had . . . .

When I cut out inti the now harvested field , the river was colouring up a bit more and certainly rising with the heavier rain . A lovely quick session and great to see the river filling up in July !! An invigorating morning !!

By eleven , it was nice to get back to the truck and a quick cup of coffee from the flask! Back home and a full bodied glass of Port and an afternoon watching the Olympics . . . . . Lovely jubbley !!!!

Weather was cloudy with some drizzle early on but improved as the day went on. A lovely stretch of water and I think the little bit of rain this week had freshened it up a bit. 1 nice trout of over a pound was caught on a nymph.
