The river was low and clear and looked very beautiful. Weather cloudy in the am and sunny pm. Water temperature 12C, 54F. Wading precarious in places. 8 trout, 4 on dry flies, 4 on nymphs. The best was a terrific fish of 17", estimated just under 2lb. (Apologies for the old currency. Most of the action was before 13:00. Only saw 1 MB and one LDO ! Only 3 fish seen rising.
The track down to the river (in dry conditions) is now part of a field of wheat. I parked beside the canal.
Lovely day.

Low clear water. Ongoing LDO hatch brought the fish up. Caught on dries and nymphs.

Hatch lasted barely 20 mins - an hour yesterday - fewer fish showed. Spent a good few hours with wets, hooked one briefly. Beautiful weather, pretty easy wading and a truly lovely bit of river made it a memorable trip all the same. I’ll be back later in the season to try again

Around mid-day there was a hatch of March Browns which only lasted around 1/2 hr. I used a March Brown Jingler size 10 which worked really well. The fish are in the riffles. Even after the hatch had finished and the fish stopped rising, they could be caught in the riffles with this fly, on a speculative basis . Technically, I should have recorded a zero catch as all 8 came off the hook. These wild fish fight hard, jump out of the water and shake their heads, and its not possible to retain them with a barbless hook. There were olives about throughout the day but the fish weren't interested in them. At least I didn't have to unhook any of the fish! Good luck.
