Hard going ,mb hatch 40 mins and over,managed 2 on drys (small). Rest on tungsten nymphs in fast water,up to 1.5 lbs.
Lots of pools quite ,but we need rain,possibly on summer level atm. Low and clear, 15 ft tapered Leader a must.
A guy was spinning above the bridge when arriving but soon walked up steam on seeing me,seems to be a fair bit of poaching on this beat,last time there was 4 boys spinning on opposite bank.

the level is good a bit on the clear side but in the deep runs quite dark so the fish can lie , tried several types of nymph as there were no fish rising had nothing not even a knock lots of very small midge flies about but no fish coming up , as a last gasp shot put on a size14 dry olive ran it across a very fast riffle as it went under got taken by the first trout, then tried an up stream run fast water but just a light ripple second cast it came up to the dry fly ,

Decent hatch of MB and LDO but trout weren’t interested in anything I showed them. Switched to wets and spiders after hatch with no success.

Very quiet, low, clear water with a cool northern wind. Fish rising occasionally, very sporadic unfortunately.

Great location and good access all the way down with 4x4.
Shame about the beer cans all around the boat house! - cleared up and took away.

1230 - 1545 session. Cold at 8C with slight NE wind.
Would have seen 15-20 fish rise during the afternoon. Never found what they were rising to as no fish rose to a dry fly or wet fly with a lot of patterns tried. Also no fish seemed to rise twice. Very sporadic with some rising 5-10m out from the bank with others seen rising about 50m out.

Few small black gnats around the banks and edges. No other fly life seen, not a surprise in those conditions.

Look forward to returning a bit later in the spring.
