Warm day, overcast and occasionally threatening rain, but brightened up in the afternoon. Fished 11-3pm, taking my time and enjoying a peaceful day. One of those strange days where fish were rising reasonably regularly, but nothing was hatching and I couldn't tell what they were feeding on. I went through most of the fly box but no fly got more than one take.
5 trout from 5"-10" caught on olive klinkhammer, PTN, grey klinkhammer, copper john and a miscellaneous red nymph.
The vegetation is making casting trickier and a couple of pools are now pretty much impossible to cover, but still enough room for a pleasant day out.

Fished with two boys and OLIVER Burch. Fished all day. Mayfly evident and fish rising. Casting massively improved. Three small wbt takes and one victoriously landed. Water low but wonderful array of pools to be fished and beat free of serious obstacles. Thanks to Oliver Burch for well guided and patient day.

Fishing too low for salmon so fished evening for trout with a friend. Plenty of mayfly around so fished the woodstream with a mayfly nymph and hooked two fish to threequarter pound each. Ken fished sedge and haresear nymph with no success.
Plenty of rises but no takes for both of us in the last hour on white wulff and spent mayfly patterns which was quite strange. Lovely evening's fishing despite the last hour.
A salmon showed twice at the chine around 7pm. Not a large fish, around 5lb.
