A pleasant day and a lovely stretch of river.
1 grayling caught at the bottom end of the beat (by the big house) on a GRHE, and a chub took a dry fly later on.
Had a number of splashy takes which just seemed to evaporate into nothing but I couldn't work out why.

I got a bit stuck trying to walk up following the information sent. Access to the river along the side opposite the pub is far easier, following the public footpath all the way to the end of the beat. There are a number of obvious (and easy) routes down to the river at suitable points - obviously a well worn bear.

Beautiful stretch of river. Nothing seen on the surface. No hatch. No bites.

Great day, beautiful stretch of river. Both fish tempted on dry flies - Mayfly and Daddy Longlegs.

I fished from midday until it was dark - which was late on this, the longest day of the year.
River was fairly coloured, but a good height and definitely fishable.
No sign of any fish for the first couple of hours as I worked my way down the beat, then a stretch of river with several fish rising kept me entertained for the rest of the day. Obstinately sticking to dry flies, I worked my way through my fly box and managed to convince a few fish to investigate and had about 5 takes, only one of which resulted in a fish in the net: a nice 11 WBT.

A variety of different insects emerging over the course of the day, including quite a few yellow duns and a lone mayfly.
Lots of fun trying to outsmart the fish, but mostly they won!

A rather frustrating day. Some fish rising, but mostly to fly just below the surface of the water. Tried plenty of emergers but to little avail. Eventually took one small trout that fell to a small Adams. Nevertheless, a nice place to spend the day. Will return.

Took a friend who'd never fished before out on the river for a few hours. They were blown away by the beauty. Very hot day but managed to get a couple of fish to rise and landed one decent chub
