2hr after work session river 1ft 3" trout kept me entertained and I thought the salmon that took me in the top of the Island was another trout at first, and only realised it was a salmon as it fell off!

Lovely morning

River level low, fresh weather affecting fly life. 2 small brownies and 1 larger around 1lb all taken on nymphs from the deeper water.

A quick mooch upstream on the WUF beat , funny weather when I bowled up , clear for a while , then breezy , then showers , and that's how it went for the two hours I was there . . . Till I left at half two !

A bit of activity with upwings , and the clumsy flight of hawthorns , trailing their legs behind them , and a good few on the water , only saw one splashy rise . . . So opted for a small black klinkhammer , which after some struggling in the usual places , did tempt one , pretty little brownie , possibly about eight inches , quickly slipped back in the lovely clear water .

The invertebrae on the stream bed is immense , and within the lush weeds , is so much activity , with a kick sample in the net , which was actually moving with the amount of insect life !!!!!!!!

The cows with their calves were keeping an eye on my activity in the stream , and I made sure my covert manoeuvres were kept within the stream , as they were getting very inquisitive , as they always do . . . . Best keep clear of cows with young calfs , top tip !!!!! It's tricky here , because the fencing , some old and the new barbed wire , is very close to the stream , makes things dam difficult !

So a fun couple of hours , it's starting to get more vegetation and less water , so tricky stuff , and catapult casting in most of the likely haunts is a must . . . . Still great fun , could do with some tlc to get this stream back to its former glory . . . . . It's a cracker , and some lovely little brownies are in here !!!!! Back soon . . . . Happy days !
