15.00 Holme Lacy 4, hen fish 23lb on the fly, caught on my own tied cascade. The salmon put up good fight.

Complete blank today. Very cold easterly wind which lasted all day, although it did warm up after 1.00pm. To my surprise there was a fish rising for anything that floated by including catkin buds and as I had left my willow catkin fly at home, anything I put at it, it turned it's nose up and ignored it!!

Hard going ,mb hatch 40 mins and over,managed 2 on drys (small). Rest on tungsten nymphs in fast water,up to 1.5 lbs.
Lots of pools quite ,but we need rain,possibly on summer level atm. Low and clear, 15 ft tapered Leader a must.
A guy was spinning above the bridge when arriving but soon walked up steam on seeing me,seems to be a fair bit of poaching on this beat,last time there was 4 boys spinning on opposite bank.

the level is good a bit on the clear side but in the deep runs quite dark so the fish can lie , tried several types of nymph as there were no fish rising had nothing not even a knock lots of very small midge flies about but no fish coming up , as a last gasp shot put on a size14 dry olive ran it across a very fast riffle as it went under got taken by the first trout, then tried an up stream run fast water but just a light ripple second cast it came up to the dry fly ,

Decent hatch of MB and LDO but trout weren’t interested in anything I showed them. Switched to wets and spiders after hatch with no success.
