A real treat to watch an otter giving her young cub a swimming lesson. He preferred skipping along the bank! Also the largest number of sand martins I have ever seen. They were well fed from a trickle of various olives, mayflies and yellow mays all afternoon. And the fishing was good. All caught on dries.

Two 19 inch fish of 3 and 2.75 lbs, the rest around 13-14 inches, on PTN (duo) in afternoon, and then size 14 Adams (dun) in the evening, right up to dark. Most of the fish were in surprisingly skinny water in tail glides and in little rocky pockets off the main current. Thought I'd hooked a small one, from a tiny rise near the end of the rod, in near-darkness, and it turned out to be a 3-pounder!

1 x brown trout 11'', 1 x brown trout 15''. Both caught on size 16 Tups Indispensable. Very nice beat, had to leave as the best of the evening rise was getting underway.

Day was bright with some broken cloud. First time at this beat, some lovely water here. Couldn't get the dries to stick, so all caught on nymphs.

A beautiful stretch. Mainly sunny, with modest (annoying) downstream breeze at times. Sporadic fly hatches during the day, bringing up occasional fish. All fish caught on dries, most by prospecting likely runs. Better fish showed late on.
