A beautiful varied beat. Only fished lower sections. A very small LDO hatch around 2 got into what felt like a decent fish but lost it in a downstream run.

Water a bit high, and a cold day. Small hatch I'm the afternoon resulting in 10 mins action. Three hookups and one grayling taken on a #18 BWO effort. Lovely fish.

1 Grayling

no fish

Lost a fish on beat 4 just after 9 spent the next 6 hours in a bone chilling wind hoping for another bite. Alas I went home frozen. Beautiful fishery .

River in great order. Gin clear but cold. Very windy. All fish to euronymphing tactics and all returned

Short session from lunchtime. River dropping after the recent rain but still running fairly fast through the shallower sections.
Access was difficult and most of the bank could benefit from a trim. Trotting for grayling but came away having caught one WBT. Hatch of March browns seen around 1pm but no sign of surface feeding.

Fished slack at bottom of stretch and had a couple of bites but no fish.....then despite my best attempts at avoiding it, the 3rd loss of gear to the "snag" I decided to move up to the middle of the beat.
All caught on spam....some straight lead, some feeder. Getting regular bites on hair pellet but no fish....assume chub. A change of tactic would have caught the chub, but stuck it out for Barbel. All in all a pleasant last day for me. Roll on next season.
