Hot, bright day. River at a nice height, perhaps a touch low, but certainly starting to warm up. We fished 3 hours mid to late afternoon. 3 trout from half to one and a half pounds on weighted nymphs. Very little surface activity with just the occasional rising fish to cast to. A nice beat. Lovely to be there.

Fished the Meadow in the morning and Woods in the afternoon. Woods best fish to 9lb.

9 Barbel, 6 Chub

Fairly windy conditions, little to be seen rising and no luck on a range of wet flies!

A wonderful day; both warm and sunny and the river lived up to its name, as it was 'abounding in fish'! Unfortunately we didn't catch any! We could not figure out what they were taking. We both tried every fly known to man, and even some fairly heavy handed casting didn't dissuade them.
There are a few lovely pools where one would expect to see salmon, but there were none in evidence.

Fly fished - fish moving but no takes.

Very pleasant 3 hours in lovely surroundings. Missed several small fish and caught one surprisingly good trout, at least 1 and a half pounds.

All the fish came from the beach section, 2 barbel in the morning and the rest in the evening all on halibut with feeders. Father in law had a great day fishing after I had baited his swim up. He had 9 fish in 9 casts and the last fish was a barbel of 9lb! Spooky!

I fished the length of the beat just stalking rising fish but the water is so low it was difficult to get close without spooking the fish especially as you have to stay in the water. Had a few takes using small parachute flies & knotted midge but hooked nothing. This is a nice beat but difficult to access.
