Fished this beat a few days earlier. What a difference today. Water clear and a perfect height, steady mixed hatch all day and fish popping up in every pool and likely lie.
Landed 22 x wbt, 4 around 10", the rest 5"-8". Experimented with lots of different dries, everything in the olive, cdc and Adams category on a size 16 hook worked.
This is as good small stream fishing gets anywhere in the world. And on your doorstep for a tenner! Magical day, thank you WUF!

Weather report suggested that we would be rained off but with some excellent advice from Allison, we kept an eye on the river levels (http://www.gaugemap.co.uk/) the river dropped over night to a fishable level (below 700mm).
Day was overcast, and very little fly life was seen. No fish were rising. 1 small Brown caught & 1 Lost, near the old Church on hare’s ear nymph.
Nice stretch of river lots of different conditions - though wading difficult in a lot of area due to water level. We would return again later in the summer.

Nil return apart from a few hours spent targeting the trout.

Quite windy, water quite high and dropping, hatch of olives around midday. All mainly taken on olive F fly.

A cloudy and mild day, plenty of hatches and fish rising. A gusty wind made casting tricky on the mid-section, but the woodland sections at either end of the beat offered more shelter and have a secluded feel to them. They take a bit of persistence to get to some parts, but it's well worth it for the scenery and tranquility.
Only one trout caught by this amateur fly fisher, but I reckon a more experienced caster could have caught a sack full. Had a fantastic time, and didn't see another soul all afternoon!

Excellent days fishing. The rainbows were in great condition and the reservoir was very scenic on the fly only part. Cats Whisker worked on this particular day.

Perfect conditions. Not much moving about. No large fish seen. Fish taken were all on dry fly and small.
