Bright and sunny evening session, fished from 6-8pm. Very few rises so fished pheasant tail nymph. Took 7 trout but lost a few more due to using barbless hooks. Largest around 8 inches the rest averaged 3-6 inches. Enjoyable evening on a very well kept beat.

A lovely afternoon of trout fishing on this beautiful beat. The river quiet in the morning, but a few showing rising from lunchtime, and an intermittent rise of fish to a good hatch of Yellow Mays and Olives during the afternoon. Half a dozen lovely trout called on the dry-fly, including a beautiful fish of c. 18''.

River very coloured so did not fish

Beat access is very difficult - much harder than the beat description implies. It should be clearer. Banks are steep and overgrown and there is a lot of deep mud that makes getting in and out very difficult. There is also a lot of deep water on this bank. The top part of the beat is entirely overgrown and inacccessible so the beat is effectively shorter than the map suggests. A herd of bullocks that home in on you at a gallop every time you appear on the bank only adds to the difficulty.

Nice day, sunny and no wind. Small trouts with dries and the two bigger with wet flies. River low and easy to wade.
