Quite surprised to see the whole left bank cleared. It make casting and fishing easier but not sure if the trout are keen to drop into tails from the deep holes until last hour of daylight. Few fish rising, mainly juveniles. Best fish at 11inches.

Sunny day with river running clear. Good to see plenty of rises, mostly gentle sips, along beat. Frustratingly only able to connect with one fish and that quickly came unstuck! Still an enjoyable afternoon in great surroundings.

River level getting low enough for significant amounts of weed to be showing, a flush through would be welcome. A warm sunny day with plenty of fly-life evident including some yellow mays, but no fish taking them off the surface, or just below for that matter. Weighted nymphs accounted for six trout and one cock grayling all from the faster, oxygenated water.

Another lovely day for trout.
Firstly, a correction that a catch return filed for this beat earlier should have been filed for 7th MAY not 7th April 2019.
If anyone reading this can correct the date on the report please do so as I have no idea how to do it, sorry Barry for the error.
Decided to fish morning rise as rain forecast later in day. Fished tail end of the Chine Pool above Wood stream with a gold bead haresear and landed a beauty at 11.30, a 2lb trout in top condition..
Went down Woodstream later and landed a fish of half pound on a mayfly nymph at the groin.
Had a few splashers on dry white wulff at the rock later before the rise subsided.
Lovely day.

DC and GC fished today, the water was quite clear and at a nice height, the banks as mentioned by another angler are becoming overgrown so access is not easy, however if you can get to the water the occasional fish can be caught. This day the fly hatch was sporadic with very few mayfly and no surface activity, possibly due to the bright sun. All in all though a nice day on a pleasant beat.

The fish were caught on drys and wet flys cadis on top and nymph on a dropper. The water was clear. A enjoyable day was had, thank you.

I caught 2 on a dry, 1 about half a pound and one a bit bigger. Fair trickle of various fly coming off during the day, very occasional rising fish. Very challenging but beautiful section of river!
