The weather was beautiful, clear skies and hot. The scenery was as ever stunning. Always lots of interesting wildlife and vegetation to study. Flies were hatching everywhere, but the fish were sulking.
One concern I have is the number of fry (thousands) trapped in pools which will dry out if rain is not forthcoming. It would be worth speciating the fry trapped, and to make efforts to return them to the main flow. Perhaps the WFU could pay a stipend to a zoologist to take on this task. You would essentially be re-stocking stretches with wild fish.

Very bright sunny conditions. Not much fly life showing and hence only a few fish rising. Did manage to get a take from a nice trout but lost it. Using nymphs.

No fish again. It's me not the Reservoir.

All on dry Danica pattern, all returned including 1 Salmon parr

No fish caught in the 3 hours I was there. Not much rising either.

1 Salmon

Warm and breezy. Challenging fishing with endless fly changes. The majority or rises were to tiny spent flies drifting past, like a endless conveyor. Almost impossible to imitate. The only deviation to a natural fly, fluttering on the surface. 3 fish to 1lb for 2 rods.

Thought there would be more of an evening rise but no. Still managed to persuade a couple of 8" trout to a Kite's.
