Sunny day and river low, only saw one fish and despite decent hatches no rises seen between us.

Saturday was the first lovely day we have had this year, it was great to be out in such a nice area enjoying a bit of sun.
I've never fished any of the rivers round this area so was reliant on the description from the website to choose a location.
Unfortunately the river was in flood and virtually unfishable, the surrounding fields had standing water which was flowing in to the river and adding to the lovely brown colour. The current was so strong that wading was impossible except on the inside of 2 bends. Any fish in the river remain unbothered by our limited efforts!
Sadly the beat is in need of a lot of work to remove fallen and overgrown trees and quite big build ups of winter flood debris which in a couple of places looked like beaver dams.
We persisted for about 5 hours but never saw any sign of a fish.
The map indicates that a sign is at the top of the beat, I think we walked a long way past that point as there was nothing obvious but on the way back there is a sign on the BACK of a fence between the 2 weirs which is only about a third of the way up the beat.
A pleasant day for a yomp along a river bank, I would be interested to see the river in good condition one day when i'm back in the area.

River looks good but no cigar, one sizeable trout around 2 pound apart. River a good colour and slowly dropping

Not sure whether Friday the 13th or ineptitude had anything to do with it, but blanked! Still v enjoyable but some care needs to be taken at the moment when wading. There are a few places where depth goes from boot to chest depth within a pace.

Good day out with a good hatch of flies around 1pm. Fish just over the 1lb Mark all taken on parachute Adams or ptn
