I found it difficult today, next to no fish rising, managed two on nymphs, sunny and showers with a strong saw wind.

The lower section below the bridge has camping activity along the bank and the river has been heavily impacted by human activity with rocks piled into dams and pools etc across the river. I would not bother fishing this section.
Above the bridge is much better with a series of runs and glides that are very promising. Tree branches hang low over the river. I used a 2-wt 6ft rod mostly with olive dun and similar to match the insects seen on the day.
Unfortunately I blanked. But had fun.

Very fast moving water and quite coloured with sediment.

Due to heavy rain early on the morning of 3rd, the river was in flood and the colour of drinking chocolate.
Access to the river is very poor due to extensive fencing, whilst I appreciate the need to keep the sheep out of the river, 2 or 3 stiles (especially at the top of the beat) would be of enormous help

Tough day's fishing.

Zero rises and the trout weren't as interested in nymphs as usual. Plus I had to leave the river at about 1600 so I missed the evening.

Water level is very low.
