Cold, wet and windy lost one fish on olive emerger.

Blank. Seven Sisters seemed quiet today. The one fish seen to move, in Martin's Pool, turned out to be a 32 inch well-mended kelt which dutifully took a Rapala put across its nose.
Trout anglers might be interested to know the grannom is up. While chatting with a rod from Stafford, we saw a fair old hatch of the little sedges taking place.

First time on this beat. Beautiful secluded spot but today a cold downstream wind and vry little fly life.
Lots of bedrock slabs and a multitude of instream livestock fences made moving upstream slow progress.
Hooked two fish in one pool but they came off after a brief time. Gave it best after 3 hours as very diligent search tactics were not productive on the day.
Directions spot on.

30lb sealiced fish caught on H&DAA waters.

Cool, breezy and over cast. The beat is looking a bit rough around the edges due to the winter floods. Lots of trees down and a bit of rubbish around. Especially below the bridge. Although the wild garlic was very pretty. Taking it in turns my wife and I managed to rise 6 to the dry fly. Fishing Duo. We went to a smaller fly and took off the Nymph and got 2 good size Browns - 8" & 10" both released. A nice afternoons fishing. Would have liked to have known about the sewage farm as it was a bit smelly but the beat is still an attractive little lowland brook I would fish again.

Not a wiff of a fish.... despite a big Grannom hatch going on for most of the day only saw one small trout show. The river looked in good shape, and scenary beautiful, but there was just a strange lack of life in the water. Could be the cold wind gusting up the valley, bringing the temperatures down after a balmy Saturday, but it was not to be.
Fished fly all day for much needed casting practice

River looked great but no contact made and nothing seen.

Whitney Court beat 4. Fresh 20+ LB fish to David Dugdale on spinner. Sunday afternoon. The only angler on the beat - what a waste.

Did not see a fin all day until 18:45 when I hooked and lost low twenties fish after extensive play.
