Lovely beat. Grateful to be granted access. Fish caught on PTN, Greenwells Spider and Black Pennell.

A lovely sunny day I missed plenty, managed 2 to the net. Both returned safely. Plenty of fish showing.

Fished spiders from 10.30 am to 3pm and not a touch or a rise seen. At 3pm the fish started to feed and I landed 4 to 13”

In the morning I used nymphing techniques until a hatch developed in the afternoon where I switched to dry fly. An excellent day

Lovely water for fly fishing. Best fish 1lb. Lunchtime hatch resulted in one fish to dry fly

What a difference a day makes given the disappointing report from the previous day. Our first time on this beat. The weather probably helped us … a soft day with warmth when the sun appeared. There was a blizzard hatch of sedges 13.00 to 14.00 with a continual trickle thereafter … together with occasional March Browns olives and hawthorn flies more than enough to keep the occasional fish looking up. We had 11 in total …. 2 at 20 inches, 2 at 16 and the rest down to 8”. Probably twice as many long range catch and release as we brought to hand! I got in to the tail of a pool late afternoon with 4 fish rising … every one took my size 14 red parachute but then managed to throw the hook. As much in despair as anything I fished further down the run against the far bank to get walloped by the 20” fish coming out of nowhere. Great fishing! We had a visit from the friendly farmer in the evening too, always a pleasure to meet the owners. Many thanks.
