Warm bright evening, A few duns hatching but little evidence of rising fish. Lost 4 6-8 inch WBT on GHHE tied on Czech nymph #18 from fast water at heads of pools.
landed only repeatedly rising. 6" WBT on size 10 hackled GHE.

The fish weren't hungry today. We fished from the lowest part of the beat from just above the camp site, avoiding the campers. We saw a few risers around midday but after that until 5 when we left we didn't see any more trout. Insect life was limited to a few isolated small hatches with no fish activity.
The water was crystal clear. I nearly trod on a lamprey at the top of the beat near the bridge which was a bit surprising, more for the lamprey than me. Just a bit unlucky today I think as it is a very beautiful and varied beat.

No salmon activity in this area today. Beware of nesting swans on the bank near the bottom end of the beat as they did not offer a pleasant greeting...lol
A small sign to indicate a location of the pool access would have been nice as the banks are steep and over grown with nettle. Cheers

Enjoyed immensely.

This is a lovely and varied stretch of water and with abundant fly life - I was hoping for a frenetic day of dry fly fishing - alas not. There were sporadic rises between 11 and 5 when I packed up. In the end I resorted to fishing a 'klink and dink' and picked up 4 fish on the nymph; one to 14 inches.
