Wild fish, most 8-10", best 14" on dry fly olives/upwings.
Warmish day, river quite low, upwings about all day in modest numbers but no major hatch so sporadic rising.

Same experience as AP, river quite coloured and slow but steady hatch. Few risers here and there. Tempted 2 at 8", one on a Hawthorn and one on small para adams. Missed several, trout seemed cautious today.

Certain areas held some rising fish but much of the river had none. A day with splendid conditions with occasional warm sunshine and only light upstream wind.
All fish but one came to the dry fly, in sizes up to 14.
Best fish about 1.5lb.

Monday - the river was up and brown - hardly worth fishing
Tuesday - still coloured and fish all bottom feeding - hardly any rise - 1 x 1 1/4lb trout taken on sunken wet fly.

River running quite fast and a bit coloured, weather nice wading a bit tricky as you cant walk along the bank in most places no rises seen no fish caught but a pleasant spot.

No fish seen, no fish caught.

One trout approx 7" on dry - parachute adams, should have had a few more as plenty were rising.

Water .92m and kept above .9m all day. Too deep and fast to wade safely so stuck to bank or margins and fished nearside bank with roll casts. No success on salmon in both wood stream and below bridge down to wires. Decided to switch to trout using size 14 greenwells nymph on point and partridge/orange spider on dropper. 3 trout landed all taking the greenwells nymph. Best 12oz.

Rain came in with squally showers and wind. Casting became difficult so called it a day.

Little or no hatch during day

One fish showed opposite fence end but none caught.

Took a fair few to cdc emerger and size 20 nymph. Very weird, warm day with plenty of fly life, hardly any fish rising. What were i took, the bead-head klink and dink took the rest.
