Three small trout, river up six inches on the day before with a little colour

Nice little beat, although quite challenging to navigate as the river is quite overgrown in places and the access is not great.

Having said that, I had a great few hours. Landed two little brown trout (7 and 10 inches) on a PTN and lost another two. Covered about half the beat in two hours but could have gone slower.

Evening ticket, fished 6-10:30pm. 3 trout, the best a 17-18 inch lump which took a size 18 parachute adams. Found the best fishing in the 'Chain Pool', also easier to access. The bracken, brambles and nettles making it hard work to get into some of the lower sections.

River was still slightly coloured by the rain this week.

We fished from 17-22:30 200 yrds upstream bridge at the estate down 300 yards downstream.
Each caught 1 trout 10-12”.
Rising fish where ocasional. Some larger sibbling spents in shallow still bordersites but selective and hard to temptate.
Good variety of insects after 20:00 i.e. yellow sallys , BWO, Red spinners and a hatch of medium grey sedges around 21:30 but had no waterboiling effect on the trout. Nice beat although just seen 20%.
Thursday revenge ;-)

Upstream from parking no. 2 a complete waste of time. River access nil. Wasted a morning finding this out.

Water looked perfect apart from the obvious heat and bright sunshine. No fish seen, netted a nice 2lb brownie, returned, a chub and a sparkling Shad.
Lovely few days on the river

Very hot, very bright and sunny. Probably the weather for sitting under a tree in the shade with something nice to drink and watch the sandmartins perform their stunning acrobatics rather than fishing. There were at a guess thirty to forty of them wheeling, darting and looking as though they were playing 'tag'. The river was very low and slow and I surprised myself by catching a halfpound brown trout in the streamy water and which was safely returned. Very pretty stretch of river. The top half is a very easy wade.
