Cool for time of year. Intermittent rising during afternoon but only in short bursts. Hoped for an improvement in the evening but not to be. Did manage 1 on a small olive and another on a ptn. Lost a couple also. Plenty of fish evident and lots of fry in the shallows.

Late afternoon session, a sporadic hatch, occasional rises in shallow smooth glides, spooked a couple of small fish when moving upstream. 1 lovely WBT and a couple of fish that didn't stick, couple of lightning takes my reflexes weren't quick enough for. Nice stretch, didn't make the top of the beat as I ran out of time. Kingfisher, Wagtails aplenty and Sand Martins nesting in a section of bank, evidence of otter thinning out the crayfish population. Great stuff, I was nymphing, a better angler fishing dries would have had more fish I'm sure.

Quiet through the day but nice rise during the last hour of daylight.

We made an effort to arrive early as the weather looked like it might turn dodgy by early afternoon. River was low and clear but there were plenty of smaller fish rising down by the church. I left dad down there and went further up to try and cover as much water before the rain came without success. The rain came about 14:00 but was not as heavy as predicted and it seems to be that just before or just after rain showers is the best time to catch, and throughout the afternoon we managed 9 trout up to 15” and 2 oos grayling. Amazing amount of smaller fish which is good too see.

9 Trout, 2 Grayling
