I expect my nil return was inevitable due to the excessive algal bloom, but then a nil return can happen in perfect conditions. At least this gave me an excuse for not catching! An enjoyable day nonetheless, on a well managed beat.

A very bright day in low water made fishing hard especially as I had to leave by 6pm. One trout caught and several lost. Several fish seen lying at the bottom end of the beat in no more than six inches of water. Extremely spooky!

River low and very few fish rising during the day when hot and sunny. However, pleased to catch a handful on a deer hair emerger during a dour afternoon. It was a different story in the evening when the fish started taking the abundant Mayfly and I had another 9 fish in a short time despite being distracted watching the swans giving a piggy back to their 8 cygnets. An excellent day on a lovely beat.

Several fish seen heading off up river, managed one nice brown trout on mayfly. Nice place and plenty of water to go at

Lovely beat, river at its summer low, lots of insect life including a mayfly hatch. One 10 inch brown and four lost. I had trouble presenting my mayfly as it was my first time casting such imitations. I will return to beat as it is an easy place to fish when low.

Nice afternoon fishing - river very low - lots of activity on the surface but only a few bites to a mixture of flies and nymphs.
