When the cork in your Kelly kettle is so dry that it rattles and your favourite river rod smells decidedly musty, it tells you that you haven't been fishing nearly enough recently. So I may just have been very rusty, but I really struggled today. It was very bright all day and those few fish I saw rise seemed to do so once and then disappear. It was mighty frustrating. I finally landed a beautiful trout of around a pound just before 5:00pm. It came to a small weighted nymph. I hoped this might signal a change and a better early evening to come, but it was not to be. Still, today was also a blatant bit of a Royal Wedding avoidance so perhaps the fishing gods judged me harshly. Not too harshly though: when you spend your time in a stunning place like this watching kites, dippers and herons and listening to cuckoos, the world seems pretty good.

Very low water, managed two to deep nymph

Low water and bright sunshine made for a tough day. Tight Line nymphs worked their magic and I winkled out a few fish. The Biggest Trout was 13" but four of the Oos Grayling were large up to 19"

A glorious day. The fish didn’t co-operate but nature did. A terrific beat: good directions, pools well signposted; plenty of benches. All round a well kept beat that’s a pleasure to fish. Thank you WUF. Very slippery underfoot so a wading stick is a must. PJ. London.
