2 x 12 inch trout, Dai Lewis' March Brown. Again that very chllly wind through the middle of the day and, having seen no rises, I was all ready to go home by 3 in the afternoon. However, in a quiet corner I came across a sheltered bit with a few March browns hatching which saved the day.

No action today, water still coloured and fast flowing. No fly hatch visible, very little fish activity.

WOW!!! ok I went up to fish all the pools at least once. Started at the top gutter ,spun it through nothing spring pool twice nothing, down into Hellrig nothing now i was getting disappointed started the house pool got to the boards carried on down then bang a fish on, it rose nice clean fresh fish, 20 minutes later I just managed to get its head in the net. A pure bar of solid silver fresh fish ,measuring 41 1/2 inches an absolute stunning fish to start the season

A blank today.

March browns came on for an hour but didn’t see a fish move all day. As mentioned in other reports, access is quite difficult but it’s beautiful water.

Fished for salmon at first, though learned later a very nice one had gone through Rectory recently and rested in Gromain waters!
Tiny grayling on a goldhead size 16..don't know how it got a mouthful of that fly!

Lovely day, light cloud and water at a good hight. Did not see any fish rising all day, despite a couple of decent hatches. Managed a couple of small trout towards the top of the beat and one of about 1.5lb in the middle part of beat. The last one looked like it had been attacked by something (see photo) a while back but seemed fine now. All in all a really nice day, thanks WUF.
