Lovely day with all fish caught in quicker water or closer to bank under overhanging trees. Could have done with more water and more flow.

Better fishing than Lloyd onn

Great fun - mostly smaller fish (6 inches) but the best trout was about 12 inches. All taken on dry flies in faster water or near the weed beds halfway down the beat. Will be back again!

As before on this beat I found consistently rising fish in just one pool, one of which succumbed to my mayfly. Otherwise a quiet (and perhaps too bright) afternoon until something large, agricultural and rather brutal arrived late in the day and set to clearing a strip along the banks. Stayed until sundown in the hope of more surface activity. There was a fall of small spinners and the occasional spent mayfly drifting past, but the temperature dropped and the trout stayed out of sight, except for a large one that nearly swam into my legs not far below the bridge.

Take your bug spray if fishing in to the evening!

It was all about the evening. All fish caught on one #18 spinner pattern in a frenetic hour before it went dark in knee deep water. Brilliant!

A & T shared 8 WBT between them on mixture of nymph and small dry flies. 1 Shad mid afternoon. Brisk downstream wind made it tricky at times but overall a good day, especially between 6 and 9pm when the wind disappeared.
