Tough conditions with the river low and clear and the sun shinning. Late afternoon a few fish started rising and I managed three good sized fish to a dry (John Barnes Jingler) with a couple of other larger fish lost.

Approx 2 hours dry fly during early evening. Occasional rises despite abundant insect life.

Some sporadic rises throughout the day but nothing prolonged. A beautiful stretch of water. One take on a submerged yellow mayfly dun! Well worth a second visit when the conditions are a little different.

Nothing caught

A beautiful day in a beautiful valley. Fished with 8 year old daughter Scarlett, and spent most of my time teaching her bad casting habits. A few mayfly about but nothing much rising to them. Stuck on an Adams, as usual, and we managed to hook 4 and miss a lot more. Failed in all of the best looking pools, also as usual, but managed to find a few here and there who refused to be frightened off by our clumsy approach. Only fished up as far as the bridge before the common, before wandering back along the wild flowered lane to the truck. On the way back to the main road we passed a sign saying "danger, young lambs", to which Scarlett exclaimed "I didn't know lambs were dangerous!"

Beautiful day on the river with some excellent conditions. We have several fish daily early in the day and later in the afternoon. Most fish fell to a klinkhammer or GRHE fished upstream. Lost one very good fish early in the day which wrapped its self round a rock!

Fine sunny day with light breeze. No luck in the fly for one of us but four 2.5lb rainbow on small mepps spinner for the other. Good to see a reduction in the litter but the road is in very poor condition due to heavy trucks removing timber, potholes could be damaging.
