Hooked and lost one brown trout and what might have been a shad, a few rises on a dry fly but no fish landed

Out of season pike and two shad. One salmon lost, one missed under the rod tip and several others seen.
Great day even when the water was low.

1 Pike, 2 Other

Second consecutive evening. No fish. Small rises at heads of pools but not interested in my offerings. Tonight I tried a dropper rig, size 14 grey wulf trailing a brown nymph size 18. Nothing. Finally found a feeding fish in the lower beat but on the wrong side of the drag under the trees, behind a log!

Nice day on a very pretty small stream. One issue, we walked too far as the information says we would pass both a foot bridge and a road bridge. It seems that the foot bridge was washed away some time ago and thus based on counting bridges we carried on after the road bridge believing it to be what was referred to as a foot bridge. The beat information should be updated to reflect that in fact the first bridge one comes to is the end of the lower section of this beat.

Nothing doing until 9pm, then quite a good hatch of smaller and larger olives, and a good rise of fish - which led to many offers, but no hook-ups! (Should I have been using a smaller fly?) Finally caught a 2-pounder in the flat water at nearly 10pm on a Grey Wulff.

First time fly-fishing on a river. Very beautiful stretch and owners were really helpful with suggestions for where to fish and tactics. All caught on nymphs
