River, very high and a bit coloured. Saw nothing rise all day. Had to work hard to catch a few modest trout on nymphs.

Reasonable conditions at around 2’ on the gauge with a bit of colour, but an air temp that barely got above 4 degreesC all day and a river temp of 9.5 degrees. Perhaps not conducive to tempting an early runner if there are any up here. Fished all day but the downstream breeze didn’t make casting brass or copper tubes and heavy tips easy.
It’s a rare event for me to kill a fish but a couple of trout of 11/2 to 2lb whacked a tube hard today and were hooked well down in the rakers so were destined for the pot.
