Great beat. Lovely day with plenty of fly life.

Tough day. Very sporadic hatches and wary fish throughout the day. Came alive in the late afternoon though once the wind dropped, although I didn’t- missing or losing 6 fish on dries- a stinker!

Lovely day of a bit on the chilly side. All caught on the dryv and between 10-12". Oos Grayling caught accidently on a sunk Adams... Should've tried some actual spiders! Feel like i should've got more ... Lost several that were hooked and missed quite a few takes.

First time on this beat. Initially I went to the"island" parking but the river was wide, slow moving and a little coloured. Nothing moving after 20 mins so drove up to the topmost parking spot where there was a nice stretch of a couple of hundred meters of steamy water.
Loads of fly life but nothing rising. I tried dries, emergers, spiders, nymphs. There was one quick pull on a red nymph with a 3mm tungsten bead fished down and across the quicker part but otherwise nothing.
Above this section was a very long flat which I covered up to the pumping station. Nothing rising bar one very small fish in the margins (shin deep) that scarpered as soon as I put a fly near it.

It might be worth updating the map slightly with the footpaths. I crossed to the right bank before the flats as it was easier to cast but couldn't wade past the pumping station or wade back across to the left bank. I thought there was a footpath so got out but was informed by a house owner that it was all private so I promptly jumped back in and went back to the parking area where I could cross back over.

Been a shocking start to the season ???? get some fish in there

Great few hours fishing, all caught on black wets flies on a floating line with fast sinking polyleader
