A wonderful fish and camp trip to glorious Penpont, a rare, still and very warm day. Huge amount of fly hatching of different types. Morning saw the most action, fish rising in every pool, easily spooked due to low water but with careful wading, possible to sneak up on them. All fish to dries, Adams and olive imitations, ranging from 10 to 16", could and should have had more, the bigger fish throwing the hook as ever. A day close to those flyfishing dreams.

A good day with a huge varied amount of fly life including suplhurs, mayfly, grannom, stoneflies, olives, midge and brook duns. Two 1.5lb Shad were caught on nymphs and safely released. Fish were taken on a mixture of nymphs, small streamers and a lot on dries. DHE and comparaduns in various sizes and colours worked well. The wading was challenging due to the slime and weed on the boulders meaning two of us ended up taking an unplanned swim.
