As expected, conditions were tough with v clear water and bright blue skies. The warmth bought on the hatches , and increasing levels of frustration, as fish rose sporadically. They would come short to the fly so tried emergers and smaller patterns, with no success.
Eventually decided to put on a heavy peeping caddis that bought the only fish of the day.
This is a beautiful wild beat not for the faint hearted as access to the river is challenging. However for the value to be delivered the stiles between fields must be improved. I no longer expect to be performing acrobatics simply to get over a fence.

Beautiful beat , really enjoyed fishing Lyepole , shame we caught so many out of season grayling instead of wild brownies but hardly any fish rising , all fish were taken on nymphs in deep pools or under dark cover. Wonderful to see 8 brook lamprey

Few olives and sedges started at 10:30 but first rise to MB around 11am. Short hatch for about half hour but fish sporadically rising for another hour after that. Three nice trout on a dry MB. All fish returned
