Second visit on the trot without catching, really poor fishing not even a bite, same for others fishing the bay, in fact many packed up early. Fishing again Saturday watch this space !!!

A cold day and even colder water but some hatch activity. The water was very low and clear. There was a prolonged (maybe 1 hour) hatch of BWO attracting some rises. I managed to attract two very large brown trout with a CDC dry pattern but only netted one of these (a beautiful 18" specimen) - I thought the 'one that got away' was even bigger. A lovely 4 hours....

Rectory almost showing bare bones today at 9’’ and clear. A smallish olive hatch on the rocks early afternoon produced a brownie of 3/4 lb, and my guest rod had a couple of Grayling from the tail. Rain needed and soon. No sign of any salmon.

Water .61m and gin clear, 10c and sunny. Very strong hatches of grannom from 11.30 onwards. Gabe fished sub surface with spider pattern grannom, and I fished dry dark olive. Surprisingly very sparse rise of trout throughout day
I induced takes from 2 reasonable trout of under a pound but both detached, first on dark olive, and second on March Brown upwing size 12.
Again, wind increased and temperature dropped rapidly from 4.

Clear, dry day with little wind and low water.
Fished the deeper holes and pockets with weighted nymphs and was rewarded with two good looking trout up to about 13". There were some small fish riding in front of the hut and a 7" trout was tempted by a stripped quill emerger.

Mid morning to noon, 4 fish on nymphs, best 1lb 2oz.
LDO's started hatching in numbers about 1pm and the river was alive with rising fish. Landed 13 fish up to 2.5lb and lost several more, all on dries. About 3.15pm dark clouds arrived accompanied by rain and a cold downstream wind. Rising stopped, so too did I.
An excellent days fishing.
