River looked perfect when I arrived around 11 with nice colour. Struggled in the morning with nymph, maybe still a bit too much fresh water. Decent olive hatch going on and fish started to rise from 2. Managed another 4 on a soft hackle dry.

Fish were reluctant, very few showing despite significant hatches of fly, but size and condition were good.p

3 Trout, 2 Grayling

Couldn’t tempt a fish on dries during the lunchtime hatch so hoped spiders or nymphs would get me out of jail. A take on each but neither stuck. Saw a salmon roll down bottom end of beat which was nice to see.

A few bites but no fish!

Fished Widdy Bank stretch, tough wind as always up there but still had fun with the dry fly.First 4 came to a IOBO CDC humpy, rest were a mixed bag.

Wide brimmed hats recommended, sunburn on my ears????‍♂️
