Fished 1700-2000. Some mayfly when I arived, and more as the evening progressed. A good ev at first. evening rise, mainly small fish. After 45 mins of my parachute adams being ignored totally, I switched to a medium sized mayfly. For 45 mins this rose fish every few casts, but I couldn't hook any. I changed to other mayflies, which were ignored. The one I hooked was on the original grey mayfly, but I couldn't match its black-and-white striped body. When I landed it, after quite a fight, I was surprised to find it barely legal. As it was overcast, the light had gone soon after eight. A great evening. River very low.

Lovely beat, as ever. Water was low and 17C. Given the expected heat, I started at 0600 - but that already felt late as the air temperature was 13C and fish were rising regularly as I arrived. I had three wbt up to about 9" before 0700 then it went quiet. I plugged on until 1000 when one came out of nowhere and took my dry but then called it quits as the heat was becoming stifling. Three fish on the dry (cdc pale watery) and one on the nymph (red tag hares ear).

Nice to see this beat recovering with lots fly life seen but not too many rising fish. 5 Trout 6 to 8 inches and 1 small Grayling.
All caught on bead head nymphs in faster water.

Fished on this lovely beat between 2-6pm. Only saw two fish in the water (grayling). Very bright day so quite difficult with shadows. River flow was faster than anticipated. Used various small imitations on a 5/6 FL 7ft rod. I'm new to river fishing so didn't expect to catch but will do more reading/ research and return. Never seen so many red kites!
