Long term fisherman, first time trout fishing. It wasn't pretty but bow and arrow and lobbing nymphs around resulted in 3 lovely WBT. Fished 6 hours exploring the whole beat, covering as much water as I could, 2 fish from drop offs next to streamier water, the largest from a deeper pool.

The brief period of sunshine had finished when I eventually turned up so it was cold and overcast. No rises or fish spotted. I can see why this kind of fishing isn't everyone's cup of tea, lost flies, rods in trees, unsteady footing on the slippery rocks, I came away exhausted! I will be trying further beats on the wild steams as I find the larger rivers intimidating. It would be lovely on a warmer spring or summers day, stealth and accurate casting will get results I'm sure.

Another cold, grey day. No fish rising. All fish took weighted nymphs

Nymphing.
It was cold with light intermittent drizzle and a cold upstream breeze through out the day.
River level was running at a good level and clear.
There was a light hatch of olives and the fish would occasionally rise, not consistently though. The fish seemed very selective and sluggish.

Overcast and quite cold for the time of year, with an intermittent swirling wind. Normal height, strong flow. Fish all looking very healthy, varying from approx 8-12”. Missed quite a few too.
