6 Trout

River level down to 0.66 on Cilmery gauge and running clearer. Conditions and weather were very good but I still struggled to catch. All caught on weighted nymphs. No surface activity.

2 Trout, 2 Grayling

I caught two trout on upper beat with dry fly.

Walked the length of the beat but caught from faster water at the lower end late afternoon, about 9”.

nothing seen or caught

success with a home tied fly. A12lb lump of silver again from the rock pool great scrap

An absolutely stunning day - river looked in prime condition dropping back down, plenty clear, hatches galore, dappled shade to aim at, bushes giving my fly back unscathed... but no sign of any fish whatsoever!!

Didn’t see a single rise from 10am-1pm when I bumped into a terribly helpful and insightful fellow angler, who assured me the river is in fact teeming with fish ???????????? (he’ll probably post a Cath report of 23 fish despite fishing behind me!)

New to the wild streams, I absorbed as many tips as I could: 12ft leader, 3lb max tippet, degreased, look for flatter water etc etc. Carried on my way thinking he must have been pulling my leg about the number of fish, before seeing a rise almost immediately! Unfortunately even the new rig didn’t work and saw no more fish. Could be the fact I was wearing a blue shirt

Nonetheless a wonderful day ????

No fish caught, nothing raising, water running fast, tried my best. Lovely day all the same.
