A beautiful day but very little action. Two fish rose and one small one stayed on. Should have been perfect but possibly too bright.

A great day fishing with fine weather, mostly sunny and 15-16 degrees. Plenty of fly life although fish were being selective and so had to keep changing fly. March Brown worked around 11am in fast water and hooked and lost a good fish. Later changed to Iron Blue Dun and had several fish in the shallow water. Fish moved to deeper water in afternoon when the temperature rose, and were periodically supping small flies - a lot of head and tailing. Small black gnats worked and caught a few fish. Lost 2 very good fish 2lb+.

Beautiful venue but very small head of fish, lost 2 good sized trout on small gold head squirrel tail. On talking to a local angler who doesn't bother to fish there any more due to low fish stocks, (his words not mine) it makes searching for the odd fish frustrating. Never the less I will be back!!

14 x 4-12 inch fish plus a good few salmon parr. Mostly on CDC dries and the odd nymph from faster water, fish rising in every pool, great afternoon fishing.

Good days fishing. Had a big take from a large salmon who turned from 40 yards and came straight at me. I was wading at waist high in the stones and he came within 3 feet, passed me like a rocket and jumped out of the water onto the gravel behind me, threw the Devon Minow and jumped again back into the water. I saw him on the gravel - he looked well into the 20lbs plus. I stood there shock as it all happened so quick. I had kept a tight line as when he threw the lure it came back and hit me in the shoulder. What an experience.

Caught 2 trout but had to leave by 1pm due to other commitments.

A stretch of this lovely river I've ignored so far but I should have not done so for so long! I had a great day catching plenty of nice quality fish on a variety of fly fishing methods. Fish were rising between 10am and 4pm in all types of water on the beat but I was unable to determine what they were eating! Poor old chap with failing eyesight dredges up feeble excuse. I cannot therefore pass on any wisdom to those who follow in my footsteps other than I took fish from slower, deeper stretches on small klinkhammers (black), fish from broken water on elk hair caddis and some from both types on a hares ear fished Klink and Dink.
A lovely day on a nice stretch of river.
