A total of 9 fish between the 2 people. All rainbows at the average stock size. 5 on worm, 4 on fly ( small damsel nymphs and montanas). Good sport with several other fish missed, 0800-1500 fishing.

A couple of trout for a full days effort !

No fish caught or any sign of fish showing. Good fun though on a very technical water.

None caught, but lost two fish which both took a dry GRHE. No fish rising other than those hooked, although there was some fly activity including occasional hatches of olives.

1 fish seen. Nil caught. Chilly wind.

9 Brown Trout, 5 on pt nymph, 4 on klinkhammer, all returned.

8 WBT caught largest about 1.5lbs or 37cm. All taken upstream nymphing with size 16 goldheads, Icelandic Peacock and HE. Fishing slowed off in late afternoon with very bright sunshine. Strong gusty wind, some fly life coming off with occasional rising fish seen but it still does not feel much like late spring !

3 x WBT caught & released, all around 8 inches. River running fast and slightly coloured. Lots of fly life about with Hawthorns, midge and various up-wings in abundance. Not a single rise all day. Fished deep and took fish on a weighted PTN and black midge larva on a dead drift. No Mayfly (Ephemera sp.) sighted - a local land owner kindly informed me that "Junefly" would be a more appropriate name for the species in these parts!

No salmon caught,but we did see two fish around the 20 LB mark. both rods had a few brown trout biggest around 1 LB all returned . Lovely beat and a great day.

Spent a very happy couple of hours bothering the plentiful trout on the Escley. Perfect water conditions and plentiful fly life. 14 trout to a mix of methods. Best fish went 12". A lovely valley to visit in mid Spring.
