Water looked good, weather was good, lots of fly life, and a few fish were coming up to the top. It all looked good. Sadly it was not to be - DJ caught the only fish of the day (safely returned), and I blanked. Highlight of the day was me falling in and getting a good soaking.

Still great to get to the River before the end of the Season. We'll be back to get them next year.

Fished from about 10.00 to about 4.00pm. Not surprisingly very shallow. Water very clear. Not really a wild stream in my opinion due to the village proximity and well-used footpath. I removed a carrier bag tied up and full of rubbish from the stream. I think the sewage works half-way along should be mentioned in the description as it does smell and you can hear the hum of it for a section of the beat. Also, the village dog walkers understandably enjoy letting their dogs paddle, but it rather defeats stealthy fishing tactics! Caught the WBT and roach at the very end of the beat in a deeper pool on a GRHE. I think the roach and trout were competing with each other. Lots of knocks, then the roach and eventually the trout. Not spooked by 15+ casts!

Maybe the last time I fish this water. Bank access now really poor. And moving along the river very hard - there used to be clear access down at the end of fields and then back up the other side of the streams. But those haven't been maintained. Just makes it a hard slog except for the top 1/4 mile. Shame.

I always enjoy fishing here. River was a little lower than it was last time, which meant the fish weren't where I expected them to be! All caught on nymphs

River very low and clear, also sun very bright all day on river. Very hard fishing. Also a lot of the swims not accessible as river too low to land fish.
