River flooded out. Threw a line in for an hour or so just because I'd made the drive but no such luck.

2 salmon Parr ---- excellent. River high but fining down after torrential rain for 2/3 days.
No fish taken. All on deep fished nymph. Grayling elusive.

River very high and the colour of chocolate. Unsurprisingly, only catch of the day was a floating log of around 3 pounds. : )
Right hand bank has very difficult access due to electric fencing running the length of the beat as well as very healthy set of brambles. Left hand bank much clearer and with lower water level imagine fishing the beat from in the river and this bank would be good.

No attempt at fishing. River dangerously high and going like an express train. Flood warnings in place.

River high and murky so fished the quieter margins where possible. One Grayling played and lost in 1st pool above road bridge - a nice end to a wet and windy day! Hooked on bead head nymph swung into quieter ebb from main flow.

Top of beat was very heavy going with brambles and branches blocking access - but lower part near road bridge is excellent. Will definitely have another go here when waters lower and clearer.

River dangerously high and in muddy flood. Washed off. Not a line was cast.

Slow day in what seemed like good conditions
