Same as yesterday really - hard yards. Brief olive hatch at lunchtime, that followed a hail storm (!), induced frantic spring fever action. 3 to 12 inches, with a good number of muddles and refusals.

Hello everyone. The weather was changeable. Rain, hail and sun. 11 trout and 1 grayling (all returned to the water) Most of the wet fly with the addition of red color. A few dry flies. Fish took off to each dry fly but there were blind arrows.

11 Trout, 1 Grayling

Nice day but no bites and no trout, 2nd trip in a row with no luck, was overcast and perfect fishing weather yet there was no activity of fish, very odd

Will be back through

1x hard earned , hard fighting 12in wbt. The only rise seen in 4hrs , too high too soon ? Came to grey duster.

A nice day jumping from pool to pool where it was fishable due to the river being on its bones . No salmon seen , gave up the ghost mid afternoon and had a Chuck for the trout . Two OOS Grayling took a small parachute dry , smashed up by a decent trout . Overall a nice day letting the world go by !

It certainly didn’t feel like May with sleet and snow showers this afternoon.
Only fished a couple of hours this afternoon with plenty of olives hatching but still no risers.
5 trout on nymphs 6 to 8 inches.

Great day. Few grannom and midges trickling off in the morning and odd fish rising in pool tails, things got going when the cloud came over around 12.50 and a trickle hatch gradually turned in to a decent stream of upwings by 1.30....LBD's, LDO's and few Olive Uprights, the odd iron blue . The fish rose hard in the pool tails (but were very sensitive to lining/drag) until the hail started around 14.00.

After it eased at 14.45, the odd fly was still coming off till 15.30 and a few fish rising. Best fish of the day was a beautifully marked 2lb 4ozer, 3 others were around 1.5lb, 2 around the pound and 1 of 12oz. All fish fell to dry, 2 were lost on nymph.
