Stunning river fished with weighted nymphs and dry's tenkara style, without success. No fish caught or sited throughout the day, maybe down to my inadequacy. Spoke to a local who used to fish the river but gave up due to decline of fish population, noted a land drain flowing into the river on the lower half of the beat! it would be interesting to know if the water quality is ever tested?

Very tough day. Windy, chilly and not a fish showing itself. So much better than work though.

Fished with a dry fly. Two bites on the first section upstream from Old Mill House, but otherwise no action.

Caught on bottom with worm.

Very tricky today! Water levels desperately low in the Escley with bright sunshine made for a challenge. All but three fish took midge patterns, the other 3 took size 20 beadhead at the heads of the deepest pools. Only saw a dozen or so rising fish in the few hours I was there, snapping at midges. Limited olives on the water and what were there the trout totally ignored. Rain needed to freshen the stream and get the trout feeding....

Saturday proved to be a good day despite the varying weather, not many hatches were showing but fish were rolling under the surface. Czech and standard over and across proved to be the best methods. The fish were holding deep. In Total 4 trout were taken with one being decent size 1.5lbs and a Grayling approx 9"taken on a gold bead head nymph. Lovely beat with very deep pools for holding salmon however known were seen.
