Very nice day, with 3 or 4 others fishing the same beat. Water levels very low for the time of year, but right through the day there seemed to be fish ready to take a nymph wherever there was broken water and a little depth. Nothing of any size though. Four were around 6 - 8oz, and three more smaller - salmon parr size. Maybe they were salmon parr??

Bright sun Fish very deep nymphs and buzzers.

4 Trout, 2 Other

River very low, bright sunny day, a fair number of fish rising but unfortunately their reactions were a lot faster than mine! One 8" trout and numerous missed takes!

Fished NE shore in the morning in bright sunlight and light breeze. Caught one 2lb rainbow on gold head cat's whisker. Fished SE shore after lunch with no further luck. Tragic that there is a sector of the fishing community who have no respect for the landscape or environment which provides their recreation. The litter problem along the NE shore is terrible with discarded beer tins, bottles and powerbait containers. If you can carry it in you can carry it out.

After fishing this beat on the Thursday before and catching 14 trout to 14" I wanted to have another go for some of the larger fish I had spotted. With a bright sunny sky and lower water I knew It was not going to be easy. By getting into position late morning near the head of one of the larger pools I kept still and let the fish start feeding on the steady trickle of LDO's and March Browns. A para Adams and a black tung bead PTN fished duo took some good fish, the best being a very fat 17" with a couple of solid fish lost. Later on I used long leader nymphs to have some good sport taking fish from the faster runs along the far bank. With such fine weather a quick swim finished the day off perfectly. All fish returned.

Fine warm day. A few march browns or dark olives about but only a few rising trout. Fished 9.30am-7pm.

Fished literally half an hour at lunch break. 1 x 6 inch trout, missed another two. A few more very small fish spotted in the pools. The easiest place to access the river is at Fishtec tackle shop. Park in their car park and then go down the embankment just above the road bridge onto the river bank.

Great day but no luck. Some surfacing in earlier afternoon. One small fish hooked but got away!

No fish this time but had one take. Some evidence of LDOs and sedges hatching.

River flow good, slightly coloured.
