A really lovely day, leisurely working my way upstream from 7.30am to about 2.30pm, targeting the rising fish. My first time here, I was sussing out the beat, and sticking exclusively to dry flies. I caught 3 : two at 9" and the final one 10". Feisty little fish, beautifully marked; there were several others rising too, but too easily spooked. I only have a 9ft rod so I was limited where i could cast; I may have to invest in. shorter, lighter outfit as this was a lot of fun!

The brook is very low and clear at the moment, but the fish are feeding. There was a Mayfly hatch around 2pm, which sent the the trout into a frenzy. However they didn't seem interested in any of my dry flies for some reason.

Eventually I managed to get some to take the nymph by doing a slow retrieve in the deeper pools. Really nice to be out again, even if I've forgotten how to cast!

11 x trout 6-10 inches, Rusty Klinkhammer. A bright and still morning after a cold night. The water looked somewhat high and muddy, but I thought I would give it a try as probably this would be the last chance this season. Some of the regular pools were rather too turbulent, but a few trout were prepared to rise elsewhere.

Quick evening session. A couple of hours was plenty of time to cover the whole beat and was undisturbed by dog walkers etc. Water levels were a bit low, but some very deep pools. Caught a brace of lovely brownies on a size 14 PTN with a bit of orange fritz on the thorax. Lost one other and saw a few fish rising. Fished with a 7' 6" 3wt rod. Access to the brook was no problem and easily wadable. Highly recommended!

7 x trout 6-8 inches, Rusty Klinkhammer. A bit of rain has cheered this one up a bit. Unfortunately a chap with a spaniel swum his dog all the way up it ahead of me - I should have started earlier!

Lovely Day, water was very low in most places, and quite overgrown making it hard to cast where the deeper pools were, missed a few takes on the elk hair caddis but that was down to experience (my first wild brook) had a 7ft 6 rod and would have been better off with a 6ft but hey ho. There is barbed-wire in a number of places and care should be taken.

9 x trout 6-10 inches, Rusty Klinkhammer. Early morning trip before the heat of the day. Beds of pools exposed to the sun covered with slime and flow much reduced, but not impossibly so and water still reasonably cool with a few fish rising.

After the torrential rain yesterday the stream was running quite fast and very discoloured. I was tempted to abandon the day but decided to have a couple of hours( better than gardening!) I managed to catch three wbt around 8inches, in lovely condition all taken on klinkhamer 14 drys. two on rust,one on black.. Saw a kingfisher too. not a bad day considering the conditions.

5 x trout 7-10 inches, Duck's Dun and Rusty Klinkhammer. The stream is getting quite low now. For some reason this was one of the days when many lightly hooked fish come just off. There you go. Or rather there they went.
