Lost a nice sea trout just before the net

Lots of surface activity when we arrived but within an hour it had gone quiet. Lots of small fish in the top two pools which is good to see.

Sat down about 2 for some lunch at the bottom of the third pool down and watched a shoal of grayling swimming about taking things off the bottom with the occasional one taking something very small from the surface. The one trout we saw was taking the same flies from the surface but he was too clever and managed to avoid anything small we could show him.

Didn’t go all the way down to the bottom of the beat, the low water made it feel like it wasn’t worth it and we’ve mainly found that to be the place to go when the grayling are about. Gave the top three pools another fish through until it got too dark and cold so called it a day with 8 trout between me and dad. We will be back when hopefully we will have had some rain!

Our report for today is largely the same as the previous day except that there were no clouds at all and the breeze dropped a little making it even harder to catch fish. We blanked today. but promised ourselves a return visit when conditions might be more favourable and we would be able to stay for the evening rise.

Lower beat. River very low after weeks of no rain, very shallow on rapids and deeper water with poor flow. No fish rising despite hatching buzzer, olives and a few mayfly but managed 2 on a weighted GRHE nymph. Lovely spot but needs at least another meter depth.

River exceptionally low. Bright conditions. Hatches of yellow May duns, midges, a few mayfly. Not at all easy. One fish on a dry fly, one fish on an olive spider.
