Quite a decent rise all day, but the fish were being very picky, quite often spitting out (and thus missing) the fly. Got 2 on a Jingler (14) late on, but the consensus seemed to be that a very small emerger or BWO (eg. size 18 Klinkhamer) was the best bet.

Fantastic view of spawning barbel above and below the road bridge. Low clear water and circa 20 fish up to 15lbs.
What a spectacle to watch.

Three rainbows. One, spinning - Mepps no 2. Two on fly - black buzzer. Cloudy, easterly breeze.

Nice to be back on an old favourite today !!! I must say though she's in need of a top up ....Really low, and some very dubious bright coloured algae up where the chicken farm dust track leads down to the river ....With the concern, I've emailed WUF just for some water testing to take place .... On stone lifting, very few nymphs seen, and no caddis whatsoever!!!
Anyway, rant over, the fishing wasnt bad ....Dry fly action was reasonable .. A small hatch of Large dark olives and medium olives were on the go by one ... Some feisty smashes to my dry fly, with only two half decent fish, the other four were wee chaps of perhaps only five of six inches !!!
The pools have altered considerably since last season, with some totally gone !!! Always a shame that, go round the meander, expecting a cracking pool , only for it to have vanished!!! C'est la Vie.....
Otherwise, it was a fun four hours on this secretive stream. Let's hope we get a bit of decent rain soooooooooooooon !!! On another one tommoz, then some client days to look forward too ....

a few afternoon hours, upstream of town bridge. over cast with threat of rain but thankfully only the ducks and fish got wet. water level was quite low having not had real rain in the area for a month. plenty of opportunistic risers at about 15:00 but no repeat feeders apart from the 2 I had. two small browns. Both to different flies; #18 olive CDC emerger and #16 Griffiths gnat. Plenty of BWO in the air along with large darks but those on the water weren't taken

A lovely secluded beat with fantastic wildlife. Frustrating to fish but perseverance paid off. Hooked 4, landed 2.
Tons of fly life, plenty of mayflies and yellow mays and many upwings too. Caught on small humpty and olive quill emerger.

Lovely day just didn’t land any fish.
