Slightly overcast but warm. 7 WBT one at 4", but generally 8 - 9". All on size 14 Parachute Adams. 5 fish downstream of bridge, 2 of these in thge pool just next to the bridge. 2 final fish upstream of the bridge. Fished all to the rise. A light hatch of mayflies, and smaller blue winged olives throughout the day.

Found the upper part ( above the bridge) of the beat difficult to access. River gates and overgrown fences.
Bottom half clearer although needed some climbing to get over a large oak tree in the river.
Otherwise plenty of fly life including hundreds of damsels and dragonflies.
6 WBT on parachute Adams

Lovely beat, below bridge more open. Heavy shower just before I arrived coloured up the water but it was still fishable.
9 trout caught all under 10”.

Six brown trout caught on size 12 mayfly imitation, the biggest being about 12”. Water was quite brown, on day after heavy thunderstorms.

Only just got around to completing the catch return. All I can remember is access was challenging and no fish caught.

Warm sunny day with occasional cloud and light breeze. The river seemed to be running at a nice level, and appeared to have a little colour in it, probably from the showers the previous day.
Fished from the bottom of the beat to just above the bridge, fishing dries all day with black clink hammer being the most successful.
Six brownies to hand, between 6 and 8 inches, missed and lost quite a few more. Most of the fish coming from slower water, this gave them plenty of time to suss out my fly and shy away at the last second!
Lovely beat except for the one very large tree on the lower half that was difficult to get past, required a bit of climbing!
There is also what looks to be an otter holt on the lower part of the beat too, didn't seem to affect the fishing

lovely few hours with trout rising between 11a.m and 2p.m to midges and the odd olive. not a huge amount of rises but enough to stay on dry size 20 f-fly. did not fish the upper section above bridge as the sun was overhead and pretty much killed the sport.

Only managed to fish a couple of hours in the middle of the day. Leave a bit of time to allow for walk down to the start of the beat. Once there I found plenty of insect life but nothing in the way of fish moving during my visit. Low trees make some of the fishing tricky and fallen trees across the river make progress along the beat a bit difficult at times. That said, it was an enjoyable visit.

arrived at ten and water was pushing with a little colour so opted single 2.5mm tungsten nymph . all trout were between 6-10 inches with none of the larger fish making an appearance . sadly as could be expected after the lull in the weather and wind coming from a north easterly hatches were non existant. in the few hours there only one rise spotted. temperature was 5 degrees at start and only eight when i left , with the water still feeling cold. nice to be back on the beat and hoping the weather picks up soon.
