Fished in the afternoon, bright blustery day, very occasional fish rising, caught nothing, but lovely stretch of the river.

Returned. Very bright and river very low and clear. I was only able to stay until 4pm and suspect that evening may have been more productive. Fished a mixture of nymph or dry depending on the water. Tough day's fishing but lovely beat to be on never the less.

Fine warm weather. A steady hatch of fly all day, mainly olives. Moved two good trout in stretch above the mouth of the Cilieni which came to dry fly. Only fished the lower beat. Very little surface activity. Water fairly low and clear.

Quite a lot of fish showing. Maybe they liked the shaded conditions as it was very sunny. Caught one of 1¼lb on a dry fly - small March Brown, over a rising fish. Hooked two others about the same size on downstream nymph, but I had been advised to use a 3lb cast, and they both broke me. Soon returned to 5lb for fishing below the surface.

Had a little difficulty finding the beat initially and spent most of my time just below and wading up about a mile from the stone bridge. Lovely stretch with high banks although this weekend the water was incredibly low and no bites over about a four hour period before giving up. Saw one fish kiss the water opposite the barracks but nothing else.

Difficult conditions...bright sunshine. Sparse occasional hatch, only saw two fish rise all day. Single fish surrendered to a nymph. Stunning stretch of water....will definitely return.

Late start only the one fish but what a cracker - 19/20" on dry fly. Plenty of fish rising later to march browns, but in low clear water hard to get to.

Fished the lower beat during the afternoon. Nothing caught but lost one. Only saw one fish rise.

Hazy and bright sun, v low and v clear. Fished left bank only; parked at east most spot. Olives coming off much of day, fish consistently rising just above small riffle at bottom of hill, didn't manage to get one on dry; 2 fish on nymphs further up beat returned.

Fished early morning 7am-10:00, a bit suicidal given the temperatures, no fly life except small midges, no fish moving. I think the water temperature is still too low. Many caddis larvae on the bottom.
We stayed at the Whitehouse Country Inn, literally 2 mins from the beat.
