River 0.7m on gauge slight tint (tidy). Weather awful. squally veering winds made it hard work with the 15 footer. No sign of salmon. A huge variety of uprights hatched between 11 and 2. Dark olives, light olives, may duns and even a couple of mayfy and false march browns . A very localised rise ensued (usual suspects on the flats just above woodstream) Quite difficult to cast to in a gusty downstream wind and just a couple of missed takes.

Weather cold, wet and windy. Fished from 11am to 2pm before giving up. Only saw 4 flies and no rising fish at all. Only saw one fish which I disturbed when wading. Did much better on previous trip. Overhanging trees need a trim.

Very cold day. River low and very clear. Difficult day's fishing given the strong wind and general chill. Steady olive hatch throughout the day, a few fish showing in the flats above the island. 5 fish caught, one on a klinkhammer the rest on nymphs. Best fish was about a pound. Fish and mobile signal disappeared in the afternoon!

A cold and very windy day. No hatch or fish seen. The water looked rather milky - not sure whether this is normal or due to run off from nearby farms. Access to upper section of beat was a little tricky [ ? needs access work ]. Still, a lovely bit of water.

Beat clearly improved from when I fished it 5 years ago. A lot of trees cleared etc. Great job.

Very strong (and cold!) wind made this a difficult day, but managed 6 wbt between us (best about 2lbs).
All caught on nymph/spider patterns.
Sporadic hatches throughout the day prompted us to try dries at the very few rising fish, but nothing could be tempted.
