Short evening session, lots of fly life late on including large mayfly hatch but nothing rising.

Fished 2pm-5
A beautiful warm slightly overcast day. Fished duo, dry and nymph on long leader.
Loads of fly life and a steady hatch of Mayfly throughout. Interestingly I didn’t see any Mayfly taken of the surface with other upswings selected instead.
All fish taken in the first 200m of stream after that only a couple of rising fish seen and nothing on the nymph.
The blurb was right with the average size of fish being bigger than the norm for a small stream.
The nice 14 inch Grayling was sight-fished from a deep slow pool the trout from the heads of pools. One trout to a dry the others and the Grayling to a Maynymph.

4 Trout, 1 Grayling

Fished 530-730 the last of a three beat day. I tried to move pretty quickly covering the lower section of the beat up to the bridge with a long leader and single Mayfly nymph.
A beautiful warm slightly overcast day. With the river running low but carrying some colour. I have fished this section of river more than any other W&UF venue but have never seen it with fly life like today. Quite amazing, even the odd Mayfly.
I tried to count the fish under 5inches separately from those over but lost count after 15. In all about 25 fish with 6 over the 5/6 inch mark and one nice 13 incher on the last cast of the day.
