Two small Brownies taken on a GRHE nymph. Beautiful and tranquil location.

Unable to fish due to excessive wind conditions

Great to get out onto this lovely beat. Weather very warm, bright and sunny with a gentle breeze. Water on the low side but not affecting enjoyment. Great variety of Mayfly trickling off all day. 7 trout from 6 - 10" all on dry fly. Missed more than I hooked, forgotten how lightening quick you need to be. All access in good order, thank you.

All fish taken french nymphing. 3 rose to Klinkhammers, but didn’t take.
A W&U foundation forum would be great so could compare tactics etc. Always keep an eye out for JA from Leominster as he always seems to be able to catch. Would love some advice from him or others on river/ small stream tactics as relatively new to it and not sure of best way to approach as in what methods to try and what lies to look for etc.
Wonderful day out even if didn’t catch many as saw dippers, kingfishers, Chaffinches etc and a couple of mayflies..

Some upwing hatches, including large brook dun, but very little response from the fish. Caught one 9” wbt on a pheasant tail nymph, and two smaller fish on the dry, and hooked a few more.

So good to get out on the River ! - and in such a fantastic location. Water was low and clear, so we could wade for long distances up and down the Beat, and despite long periods of bright sunshine the trees provided good cover (if a little challenging !). Abundant fly-life provided some great sport using dries, and heavier nymphs secured some nice Grayling from the deeper pools.
As ever, many, many thanks to WUF.

Just a couple of hours on the river this morning but had some success with a PTN. No rising fish seen. Very good feeling to be out in the wild again.
