1 trout caught + returned.

15 brown trout between 2 rods - up to 14" and all returned.

River in flood so fishing was pretty difficult. No fish caught.

I caught 3 small grayling of about 6-7 inches and 2 trout: one of about 9 inches and the other, a good fish of about 13 inches. All fish safely returned. They were all caught on hare's ear nymphs except one of the Grayling on PTN. All action in the slack just beside a couple of streamy pool necks towards the top of the beat.

No trout caught. No takes. Although another angler reported catching fish.
A cold spring day on this nice stretch of water that has some good pools but with very few flies hatching today.

Gave it a go but the river was probably still a little high and coloured. A small hatch around lunchtime, but no fish seen or caught

A stunning stretch of river, but achingly low. Needs a good flush through to wake it up. The Maddox is just mouth watering and I really didn't want to leave. This salmon fishing thing gets inside your brain doesn't it? Not a touch this time, but I'll be back.

What better way to clear a head cold than to venture onto a WUF Roving Voucher beat with a forecast of sunshine and showers - some of which were hail!
Despite the previous three days of rain the river was running 'gin clear'. Weighted nymphs produced four early season WBT (to 30cms) from this delightful beat.

I saw one rising fish all day and that was as I walked across the bridge leaving the car in the morning. The water was at a good height and falling but coloured particularly in the morning. I don't think the hailstones helped either!Despite fishing hard I didn't move a fish all day.

River several inches up and coloured after rain the day and night before; wading therefore not easy/impossible in places (for me, at least). Sun and heavy rain showers, fished 10-2. Hatches of olives 12-1. Caught and returned 3 brown trout rising to olives, best a pound or so, all on various olive dries. Hook pulled out of/didn't hook properly(!) a much better fish, inevitably. All action 12-1.
