One trout 1lb 3/4 taken on an emerger during a short hatch around 1ish. Saw very few other fish for the rest of the day.

Water levels were perfect but a stiff breeze. Used PTN’s and Spiders. First time fishing the river so it was all an experiment. Managed to hook into a small brownie but never landed it unfortunately it had other plans.

3 salmon.....just kidding! River still quite high but clear, and wading was difficult and rather challenging in places. Fished this beat thoroughly, and even used a spinner in deeper sections. No fish seen, and I just wonder what it will take for the powers that be to start wondering why there are so few fish in the system!? But its still a lovely stretch of river, and well maintained by the resident Ghillie. Here's hoping for a better season than last year!

One Big fish showing in upper hut catch, it looked to be in the upper twenties and quite coloured, I hooked into it after 45 minutes of casting but it was only on for a few seconds. I was using a red and yellow single hook flying c . no other fish were seen

John Graham 11lb cascade tube no fish seen.

Overcast conditions throughout the day with a few sunny spells. Fished the Duo all day and took fish on both flies.
February reds and small up wings hatched intermittently all day although few fish rose to them.

13 trout caught but as many missed!

A mostly bright, sunny day after a cold night but I'm not sure that justifies the nil return on a beautiful beat. I tried a wide variety of nymphs and spiders, occasionally a dry fly but nothing worked.
March browns were hatching sporadically in the early afternoon but no fish were rising. Lots of sightings of dippers and kingfishers and many otter prints, plus a couple of spraints.

Nil return.
