Tough day, with very low water, high bright sun and temperatures hitting 28C. Despite the conditions, DB and SB managed to winkle out 2 trout each. Smallest approx. 1/2lb largest close to 1 1/2lb. All fish were in excellent condition and safely returned. Fish taken from deeper channels using heavy tungsten nymphs (PTN). Lots of fly life throughout the day, but nothing rising at all. Great day to out in a wonderful part of the world.

Temperatures up in the high twenties. We fished from 9am through to 1pm and then back again at 6pm for three hours in the evening when we fished the top section of the beat which we very much enjoyed. Little activity throughout the day. One brown trout around 10" put back and a number of small trout.

No salmon seen but enjoyed the day's fishing on a beautiful stretch of the river.

Temperature peaked at 28 degrees, with a very strong wind, not my first choice for fly fishing conditions! Fish could be found rising at some shallow pool tails, and in the faster broken water of 'run ins'. We persevered, and lost many fish, as they slashed at the fly in the fast flow, not always getting a good hook hold. We managed three for the day, with one of 1.75lbs. and two of a pound; not a spectacular result', but an enjoyable day.

Unfortunately due to last minute circumstances re house move ! I was un able to go fishing. Having booked it planned it and bought new kit I am very disappointed. I will book again later in the season once the house move is completed.

Arrived at 8 and it was very, very hot! Water level very low but that still means plenty of water on this beat. Fished the long tail towards the bottom of the beat where it sweeps over towards the far bank under the trees and shade. Fished a nymph under a Klink , not takers for the Klink , 2 trout around 10 oz one handsome Grayling about a pound. Various things hatching during the day , no fish showing any interested in them. Sweated my way back up the river for no result, finished up around 2. Probably a good day for an evening rise .
Stopped for a pint at the Griffin to find it all boarded up !

2 Trout, 1 Grayling

Very difficult conditions. Bright sunshine, no cloud cover and very low water made for a very difficult day.
Mayfly hatch was incredible at around 11.30 hrs but fish appeared uninterested. This beat needs water and I would return in the right conditions.
