3 Trout, 1 Grayling, 1 Chub

Despite generally hot and bright conditions, a great days fishing on an excellent beat. Fish caught in streamy sections and between Stone Catch and Lady Alexanders Catch on various nymphs. There was a small hatch around 10am and a couple of fish were missed on dry flies. Picked up a couple of bits of litter, a beer bottle and a lure box (otherwise the beat was immaculate) and pulled some Balsam.
