Weather dry but cold with wind from East. Water .51m and clear. John fished woodstream with Partridge and orange spider with no result.
I had two around half pound each at tail end of chine pool on dry dark olive size 12. I ventured into deeper water in chine pool having seen a few decent fish only to ship a shedful of water through a rip in the upper part of my chest waders which was picked up unknowingly on lowering myself down the steel ladder into the pool.
The wind had picked up and the fishing died a death, and I gave it best and returned home.
I will attempt a repair and reenter the fray next week.
John blanked.

Worth to mention of total catch 2 very good Grayling over 2 lbs each on wet fly.

4 Trout, 5 Grayling

Nothing caught one seen rising but could it be tempted. A really lovely place to be but very tough to fish

First cloudy day for ages; cold wind dropped but air temp still only 11C. River low and needs a refresh; algae is building and the shallows are getting slippery. All quiet until around 3pm when there was a quick hatch of olives. Two fish in short order on BWO.

A quiet few hours on the bottom part of the beat up to the weir. The algae or silt on the lower part of this stretch made the wading very slippery despite having studs. The cleanliness of the river bed seemed to improve markedly about half way up for no obvious reason. One rather lean trout took a GRHE nymph. It had a puncture mark on its flank, evident in the photo - maybe from a lamprey? You have to admire the thoroughness of the barbed wire fencing on the left bank!
