River in good condition, weather fine with upwing flies of all sizes including the odd mayfly. Very few fish rising. Four small trout to hares ears patterns.

Some mayfly hatching in late afternoon. Two grayling caught and released on spider and nymph. I only saw two rising fish and caught one, a brown trout on a grey wulf. Another brown trout caught on pearl spider. All released.

A beautiful day on Holme Lacy 3 with the river in good condition and the beat immaculate thanks to Colin's hard work. The only thing missing were salmon; no fish seen and none caught! Colin's theory is that the spring fish went through on the high waters of March and April and the back up fish have not yet arrived. Disappointing in fishing terms but a great day out in a wonderful location.

Tough day! River was low and clear. There was the odd fish rising (during the 7 hour session) but not interested in our offerings with hardly any fish disturbed as we waded virtually the whole beat. Apart from the fishing it was a good day, dry and bright day in spectacular countryside

Beautiful day to spend a couple of hours on bottom half this delightful stretch of wild stream. Hooked, but didn't land, a couple of free rising 'micro' grayling whose appetites were bigger than their mouths! Also moved a good size trout on the edge of a deep pool. Lots of fly life and large shoals of fry. Top half next week and I may just revisit that pool!

Best grayling caught to date but only fish of the day. Nothing rising, plenty of insect life all seemed right but couldnt find the fish.

River conditions were great but very little in the way of rises and quite challenging wading at the lower end of the beat. Sadly nothing caught.
