River still very low and gin clear. Caught a 2lb grayling on a Mayfly nymph in a deep current. Lots of Himalayan Balsam growing up.

Evening fish at end of hot day. No hatch or rises. Saw 2 beautiful trout but no takes.

Sorry for the delay in returning but due to a week away on holiday PC time has been limited.
A tough day that from memory was very very windy. Only saw a handful of rises all day so fished nymphs nearly all day with the odd change to klink and dink.
Caught 2 x Dace (I believe) of about 9" and 2 x Grayling all fish taking the nymphs and returned to the water safely.

After a delayed morning start (at about 11.45am), owing my not having enough passport vouchers with me - but saved by Allyson at WUF office, I had a ball on this little brook. No fish were showing but they were soon tempted by my offerings - Paragon 90% and Superpupa 10% of time being my choice for the day. Every little pool and riffle contained fish, albeit that some were small, and there were a few Danica and Sedges in evidence as well as a pair of Dippers. I fished all the way through to the top of the beat by about 5.00pm and my estimated catch for the day was 20+ trout from 3" to 11" with a majority in the 6" to 8" range. I also met the occasional dog and owner, children on half-term and a 'local' worming the Gauging station pool.I did explain that WUF now controlled fishing on this stretch but he didn't want to hear!
I found my knee-pads really made a difference on this Lilliputian water and I would certainly recommend them to others, and my little 6ft rod was ideal for this water too, anything longer would be very difficult to use.

Three WBT 9inch best on GH nymphs, mid-day rather disappointing, evening much more productive with fish rising to dries quite often. Shame I had leave early, something to come back to...
Beautiful sunny day, low and clear water, light upstream wind, salmon jumping...thank you WUF. Will be back sooner rather than later.

Fantastic evening on the arrow but failed to catch, few fish rising in what is a very shallow river, need rain & lots of it!

Water low. Each rod caught two fish (grayling and chub) (2 grayling). Caught on CDC olive nymphs. Our first time at this fishery. We had an excellent day and will return soon to try and land the very large fish lost from one the the fine runs.

Around 12 fish released. Mostly in the 8 to 12 inch bracket. Cracking day!

Attractive stretch of river but very low water and a bright day meant that few fishing were feeding on the surface. I saw one small rise above the weir and put my fly over it. The fish sipped in the fly, I set the hook and then the fish pulled back and snapped the 7x tippet so I suspect it may have been an escaped rainbow!

Plenty of water in the river after recent rain - wading was a bit more of a challange and lost my footing on a few occasions. Not much in the way of fly life that I saw and didn't see many fish rise except for a 15 minute period mid-afternoon. Overall mananged to catch 10 Brown Trout with the biggest being 17 inches. All caught on dry fly (Parachute ginger quill) and all returned unharmed. A great day out as always - especially as this was my first time going solo as I normally have my old man with me.
