Not sure if the others who were booked on fished the lower stretch?

Has a few fish rolling meat towards the end of the day..

First time on this beat. Fished the upper section. Overcast windy and drizzle throughout the afternoon. The wading wasn't quite as difficult as I expected but I was still glad I had my wading staff and newly studded felt-soled boots. A few sporadic rises to the Griffith's Gnat resulted in OOS trout. Grayling came to a team of spiders. I missed a fair few chances due to lightning fast takes so potentially could have had a better return but great fun and a good challenge. I look forward to trying again in the spring.

River was low / clear. fished 2 fast flowing swims which produced very well small pva bags used and 8ml boiles.

A dreary morning - never quite raining, but damp enough to get you wet - and a low clear river. Started at the bottom of the beat with a weighted nymph. 2 Grayling and a Trout reasonably quickly, but nothing else until I picked up a second Trout on a Klinkhammer just before packing up. Was somewhat surprised to meet two other anglers, who had moved from the top beat, as I was eating my lunch; as there did not appear to be any other bookings when I made my booking on Wednesday. Nay bother though; I had plenty of water to go at - with my somewhat meagre catch being down to the river, which had a distinctly "off" feel about it today. Of course, the thing at the blunt end of the rod may also have been at fault

A slow morning, but the fishing picked up after lunch. Tight line nymphing and dry fly were equally successful.
