After trials and tribulations over the last year and some, it was an absolute joy to be able to get back on a wild stream, even if the forecast rain turned into a vertical downpour that drove me away mid afternoon. River running fast and clear, plenty of birdlife for company and sporadic hatches. Nothing rising but had some success with a small black flashback weighted nymph. Missed most takes, short of practice, but landed 2 feisty 11 inchers. Delighted with that, can’t wait to get back to one of the other wild streams.

Small fish 5-6lb off the rock on the bridge pool on a small Wilkinson shrimp

All the fish came on meat, nothing on pellet. Feeding and catches coincided with a heavy rain storm. 2 fish (probably Barbel) lost.

2 Barbel, 3 Chub

Fished from 10-4. Intermittent rain. River in excellent shape, nice height, clear water. My fishing partner, Andy, was christening his new 7 ft rod and reel to good effect - 1x 11/12": 3x 8": 2x5". All on deerhair comparadun, size 16. I had two at 8" on a para Adams. A good day in which we barely covered half the water. All fish returned safely.
