River was a tad high still, and running quite cloudy. Beautiful beat, only fished for 1.5 hrs on top half. Hooked 1 OOS trout, otherwise blanked.

River was a bit high but fishable. No sign of any fish though. Sometimes one just fishes in hope.

Unfortunately the river had burst it's banks and was rising steady all day. Despite finding a few slacks no pike were to be had in the coffee-coloured water. Left at 2pm just before the river got to my car.

Fly fishing for pike - river very high and rising - difficult conditions very coloured water with large amounts of debris coming down the river. Looks like it could be a great beat though!

Unfortunately, we didn't get to fish (annoying as we had paid for the day). We went down to have a look but the river was totally blown out...
