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.

River dropping and clearing nicely. Warmest day for a while .. but many fewer things hatching than on Tuesday and no fish rising. Even the birds have gone elsewhere today.

The only fish I saw was a 5 inch trout which ate my nymph as it trailed in the water when I was walking back to the bank. Does that count as a catch?

Lovely day though.

Beautiful warm day and light winds with still quite high water and a ting of colour. Wading trick as a result but 5 good fish with the largest at 14inches. All bar one on a PTN with the 5th rising to an emerger.

Lots of fly life rising but no fish doing the same.
