Nothing caught. Very pleasant day.

Fishing in the afternoon the upper part of the beat. The water level was a little high and a little dark. Strong wind, no surface activity. We try with nymphs. No rising fish. The river seemed dead.

1 very small WBT. Nice day but little sign of any fish.

Lovely day, x6 grayling to 2.5lbs and 5 trout to just over a pound. Whilst playing a nice sized grayling, an otter, also took the fish and left me with the head!

An interesting days fishing. We arrived mid morning to find the river up and running the color of dark tea. However things still looked promising. There was little sign of fly life so we started on nymphs. No rising fish were seen until about 2:30pm. Shortly after that we had our first fish of about 1 3/4lbs. More fish then followed, best of 2lbs, the majority were over a pound, with a couple of 6 inchers for good measure. All taken on a Tungsten nymphs. A great if challenging days fishing.

Weather was dreadful: constant rain all day, cold and wind was often a problem. Still, a lovely stretch of water in good condition. Access to the water a little difficult on the stretch between the Chapel and the ponds. Perhaps a few steps could be cut into the bank to improve access to some nice stretches of water.
2 WBT caught, in the last 10 minutes before we decided to leave; one about 5" long and one about 10" long, both top Adams. Will be back.
