Unable to fish due to excessive wind conditions

A lovely beat. A fine day with strong winds. Lots of insect life and mayfly hatches throughout the day. I caught one 8" trout on a mayfly imitation and my son caught a 12" trout in the bridge pool on a Hares Ear type nymph.

One take on fly. Several boils with the spinner. Stopped at 1200 with the river the colour of pea soup.

Lovely little stream but needs serious management and clearing. The winter floods have meant that most of the pools have a tree of some sort over the best lies. Busting full of fish though.

The WUF website keeps telling me that I need to submit this return (which I've already done), so here it is again......

Very difficult conditions today, howling gale blowing down the river so it was pretty much impossible to pt a fly where you wanted it to go. Leaves, twigs and small branches blowing off the trees constantly!! Caught 2 trout about 8 inches but they were more by luck than skill!! Only fished the bottom half and gave up by midday. Saw a couple of mayfly but very little hatching and not a single rise all morning.
