Nothing caught today. Gutted

1 x 10in trout on wet fly, black hopper with gold head, caught some way up half way between the bridge and weir after morning rain, trout returned and in good health. Some mixed fly life on the surface later in the day. Not much rising though a trout came up to a small daddy and changed its mind. Saw 3 kingfishers, 1 weasel, and many birds with wag tail and yellow marking flying fast up and down maybe a grey wag tail? Remains of a deer below bridge not sure what happened there!

What was planned to be a couple of hours reconnaissance on my first visit to Gromain, ready for when ( or if ?) some salmon arrive, turned into a very enjoyable days trout fishing as the light overnight rain spiced things up a bit.
A 1 1/2 fish first cast in the spring pool neck was followed by fish rising to quill bodied emerger patterns well into the afternoon in the Spring pool, leaning Willow pool and the Ferry. Only four fish to the net, but four others came off half way to the net and there were many more takes and misses.
The ‘’other’’ was a salmon parr from the Ferry.
Will have to think about parking options though, because access in wet conditions without a 4 wheel drive could be tricky.

3" on the Gromaine guage and very clear. 2 anglers, six fish, an OK day.

Fantastic day to be out, with the river in fine fettle although could have done without the cold north wind. Saw nothing in the morning but hooked a strong fish in Maddox after lunch, sadly though it came off before we could land it. Saw other fish jump in Vanstone, Dog hole and The V.

Weather dry but cold with wind from East. Water .51m and clear. John fished woodstream with Partridge and orange spider with no result.
I had two around half pound each at tail end of chine pool on dry dark olive size 12. I ventured into deeper water in chine pool having seen a few decent fish only to ship a shedful of water through a rip in the upper part of my chest waders which was picked up unknowingly on lowering myself down the steel ladder into the pool.
The wind had picked up and the fishing died a death, and I gave it best and returned home.
I will attempt a repair and reenter the fray next week.
John blanked.
