Arrived late p.m. as cloud evaporated, leaving a bright evening with water low and clear. Fair amount of fly life but very quiet piscatorily until sun neared horizon, when something of an evening rise developed into dusk. Fished dries and picked up one small trout on an Adams and a fine fat grayling on a sedge pattern in unexpectedly good condition for early summer. A beautiful peaceful spot. A couple of would be wild swimmers showed up at the top pool and were kind enough to stay out of the water!

Nice to be back on the banks, all fish taken on pellet feeder.
The other was an eel.
Otters active here.

Fished until lunchtime, nothing seen or any contact made.

Afternoon and evening spent on the middle / lower beat - hard going through the vegetation!
I finally got a small trout on size 24 midge later in the flat glides, but a very expensive day for very little action.

Arrived late morning to find 4 other people fishing. Very disappointed

Did not fish as the barbel were spawning.

By a fair margin the most difficult stream I have ever fished, made harder still by the fact that two trees have fallen down across it, only one of which I could limbo under. Unfortunately this particular stream isn’t one you can get out of very easily (or at all) so I just had to Wade back down the river. Despite all that I plan to return (with machete and compass!) another time as it is a lovely tributary and I ought to have caught more than the one I managed. I had a wading staff and waders with felt soles and still managed to fall in twice.
