All trout taken on a midge dry fly. There was a light breeze.

Plenty of mayflies coming off the river and the trout were taking these. I fished a dry mayfly and managed to rise quite a few but only landed two, 9 and 12 inches

One salmon on the fly lost late morning after playing the fish for 3/4 minutes. Very hot!
A nice Chub taken on the spinner!

Early start, mist soon burnt off to reveal a blue, cloudless sky. Temperature and brightness increased through to midday when it became too uncomfortable for me to fish on. A few fish showing lazily in the bottom of Vanstone early on, no sightings in upper pools. Algae starting to become nuisance. Nil return today but some interest, believed to have come from shad.

River low and clear but had nice wbt.

The day was really hot so I choose to fish in fast flowing water and caught lots of trout and grayling on nymphs. There were couple of rises in the evening but nothing came on the end of the line. I caught a big fish under the bridge (couldn't see the fish) but lost it as it broke my 5 lb tippet. I think a felt/studded boot and a wading staff is essential as the river has predominantly bed rocks.

Beautiful beat. Fished from 1.30 to 7pm. Plenty of insect life. The river is quite low after a prolonged dry period. Caught 4 trout from 6" to 10" on duo method, all on the nympth. Any attacks on the dry were all missed by yours truly! Hopefully next time...First time I have used the passport, an excellent service.
