8 Trout, 5 Chub

Good conditions and lots of fish moving - mostly grayling. Saw a large salmon jump mid-beat 3 and there was a lot of quite strange fish behaviour - lots of jumping and frantic flaping about on the surface. Suspect being chased by something larger. Didn't make it up past top of beat 3 but beats 3-6 lovely. Low water, but not a problem on these beats.

1 Grayling

All taken on wets fished down and across. 2 small Chub and 3 small trout on beat 3. 1 taken on Snipe and Purple and the rest on an unweighted Endrick Spider. 6 trout and 1 small chub - all on the Endrick spider at the top of beat 5. 3 trout between 3/4 and 1 lb A sporadic hatch of pale upwings and small olives.

very warm and sunny. River low and clear. Worked through beats 3. 4 and 5. so lovely to be on the water ... and such a lovely river. All made more enjoyable by the action we had.
Between us we landed and quickly returned 1 wbt (klink and dink), 4 oos chub (klink and dink), 1 dace (nymph).
Evening spent trying to connect with salmon which occasionally showed - no luck but engaging sport.

Difficult going with very bright conditions all day. Pesky trout would not look at my dry flies & I spent a lot of time staring into my dry fly boxes trying to imagine what they might be drawn to. Whilst doing this I noticed that there was a resident spider under the soft material lining in the lid; Every time I opened the box he 'popped out' expectantly & as I hooked in another failed flea he retreated slowly behind the cover. He must be getting a rough ride today.
The 'others' were 3 Shadd that took vigorously when I changed to a small size 18 nymph. I stopped at 3 not really wanting to hook any more. Never seen one before ... very interesting design to their mouths with a notched lower jaw,some beautiful spots down their flanks & an almost tuna-like tail.They put up quite a fight on light tackle.
Thank you WUF.

river very low and a warm sunny day, expectations not incredibly high. A new beat for me so a good opportunity to see get to know the pools and runs while the water is lower.
Saw a couple of salmon but unable to move them.
Couple of wbt (3/4 pound) and a couple of oos chub - all on or near the surface.

slight issue on arrival with two cattle in the secure parking area! left and returned 30 mins later and cattle disappeared. think this was due to someone not putting he chain over the metal gate allowing anglers access.
