With the prospect of heavy rain in the afternoon, I started mid morning. Fished with a black gnat, tied klinkhammer style, and a parachute adams. Took 3 fish but raised many more that came short of the fly.
Those fish that were rising came to the fly, but only once, after which they moved on.

A VERY WET day! A beautiful setting, but no fish activity. A lot of swallows "hoovering up" flies, but no trout rises. We'll try again with better weather!

Two trout , the biggest just under a pound and a half and one out of season grayling.
A day of lots of missed chances and one very good fish lost. Fish were moving throughout the day mainly in the faster water - all the fish taken and missed were to a variety of dry flies.

River a good height and clear but rising.Dr Spence and his Wife fished beat 5 in the morning and were seeing fish moving but made no contact. Afternoon a syndicate rod took a 12lb fish to a spinner on beat 4.Fish seen running,a few shad about.

Weather was awful, 10 degrees and rained all day. The river had risen slightly the night before so the water was carrying some colour. Not a great day for a hatch, but a few flies tried their best. Nothing much showing so the fishing was limited to exploring with nymphs. 2 trout finally obliged, the best was just over 1lb.

Excellent beat! Loads of fish rising. Used small mayfly, hares ear parachute. Rained on and off all day but despite that loads of activity. Some really big trout! up to 50cm
great day but wet!

River up a bit, beat a good hight and not too much colour after yesterdays rain. Fished down with the fly expecting a pull with every cast but no salmon seen or touched. One Shad from Bridge Pool, nice to know there in the river again.

Perfect river conditions but cold and raining. Beautiful spot. 1 small trout landed and returned but had we been proper fishermen we would have caught more.

2 brown trout (1 approx 1.5 lb and 1 approx 0.5 lb), both caught on dry GRHE size 16. Lost several other fish which took a Light Cahill dry size 12, which were rising to a pronounced hatch of what appeared to be Yellow May duns. Very enjoyable sport, despite the drizzle for much of the day.
