6 fish between us, 3 each after Brett dry netted yesterday.
As a relative newcomer, he learnt a lot in one days fishing after I pulled rank and took the fresh water he took all the fresh water and hooked a fish at least 3lb, it immediately leapt clear of the water, and threw the hook.
I long released two fish in the 2lb class, really interesting water and perhaps less than 10% covered in 2 days, real hidden gem. Hard work wading and in places not child friendly.

I knew it was going to be a good afternoon when a health 9" trout sucked in a para Adams floated down into the tunnel from the first cast at the bottom of the beat. Another at 10" on an emerger before the foot bridge. A good scattering of Mayflies but only one sen taken. Also seemed to be some pink/red bodied ones which I don't think I've noticed before.
Missed a few and picked up a couple of further small ones before finding a steadily rising fish in a long pool. This took a grey wulff and after a patient play proved to be 14"! Fished 3pm to 7 and ended with 6.

River slightly coloured on arrival. Saw a few resident salmon move, but very few fish around. River rose (about 4”) and coloured up pm. Caught 3 Shad.

Conditions perfect. Overcast with very little wind and the river slightly coloured. Mayfly hatching all day but surprisingly few fish rising. Those that were visible were willing to take a dry fly. A cracking beat with lots of varied water and a beautiful location.

4 Trout, 2 Grayling

Very well conditioned brown trout about 1 lb , returned alive. Water very low with little fly life, nevertheless very enjoyable day.

3 shad, returned

Very, very low water. We concentrated on sections of the Beat that had a flow through them and managed to secure some grayling. The only trout we saw were the ones we spooked whilst splashing around. Fish were taken using very small nymphs and spiders - all returned safely. A tough day, but a really nice beat to spend a day on.

Nice day to be out cool and cloudy in the morning little canoe traffic. beat fly fishes like a dream on an 8 weight and sink tip line. shook hand with a fish at the bottom of the beat but it obviously didnt like me./closest i have come to getting one out on fly on the river maybe next time

Excellent days fishing. Overcast and Humid. Little wind.
