A couple of happy hours on this brook. A hot late sunny afternoon/evening with lots of midge activity. A few fish rising in the pools. One missed strike after an hour and a lovely 9 inch wild brown trout on something small and dry (sorry not knowledgeable to know what) completed the visit.

Started fishing early morning and finished after couple hours. No visible fish rises, no catches, water level low and basicly really small river more likely had a walk.

The river was low and clear, and with bright sun and little wind it was going to be a tricky day.
There was a good mix of hatching insects. Black knat was prolific, the fish didnt seems to be on anything specific. I missed fish on most flies that i tried. A 16 grey emerger was take with confidence by the three fish that i had.
It was very much a day for concidered casting rather than just covering water.
As every a stunning place to fish

lovely few hours with trout rising between 11a.m and 2p.m to midges and the odd olive. not a huge amount of rises but enough to stay on dry size 20 f-fly. did not fish the upper section above bridge as the sun was overhead and pretty much killed the sport.

River level good, saw one fish move during early morning. fished all day with Devon Minnows and flying 'Cs'. Croys were useful on upper Beat, lower down water was difficult to get to due to very steep banks and trees. Canoe traffic busy at
times as expected. Could not fish below suspension bridge due to canoes picnicking and local families swimming.
My son caught a Shad and lost another one.
