Stunning stretch of water, lots of features - thoroughly enjoyed being out here in the glorious weather today. Quite wild and, as per WUF notes, not an easy wade - more water might have helped with fish but would have made getting into viable positions even more tricky in places. Managed 5 on nymph (duo), up to about 12". Lost 3, which might have been closer to a pound - one right at the net. Quite a lot of fly life, but very sporadic rises made it tricky to target fish. More patience needed.

A pleasant few hours on the "Upper" stretch. Lovely mixed water with some deep holes. All the fish came to a tungsten nymph, a few stonefly started to show early afternoon but no signs of fish rising.

No rises, one took a nymph at the bridge pool but didn’t stay on long. Lots of dogs in the river, probably not the best time of day.
