Not even a bite but stunning day. Still enjoyed it very much.

6 Trout, 1 Grayling

A slow start today, on a local beat !! The ithon was very quiet at the bottom of the beat, no rises, no activity at all!! Im thinking maybe those goosanders have done the morning rounds here !!! Or that mink!!
Anyway , I persevered , as you do !!! Lol. Bang, half one at last, the first feisty little fish, well over half way up to the dry !!! Only seven inches, but most welcome ..........
Another two from the next long pool, with one of those lovely trouty seams, so, im always ready on that one !!! Never disappoints either .... Two, ditto in size , then another near the top of the beat.
With masses of olives about, and grannom, I was very surprised how "sulky" the river was. Nice to chat with Jane, the farmers wife.... We discussed the river, and how it really ''greens" up mid summer. She explained they never use any of these chemicals or insecticides, or any slurry... Proper old school techniques....nice to see !!!
The river could almost do with a freshen up and a full night of rain would do her the world of good.
Another nice session , I'll try some of the Edw and Arrow beats next week.....Happy days !!!!

We had 6-7 fish to the net between us including a few over 1lb on a mix of euro nymph in the riffles and dries on the flats.

Such a lovely stretch of river. So lucky to fish it. And, on a day like today, to share it with so many dogs chasing sticks thrown by happy owners. And a paddle boarder who turned back at the lower fast water.
But little can irritate for long when you're allowed access to the fishing.
