Caught one good-sized fish on CDC dry fly during brief hatch of olives at around 1.00pm. Other fish caught on PTN while waiting for the rise to get started. Fish in good condition and returned safely.

Very strong downstream wind made life difficult, particularly when using dries.
Olives started coming off around noon but where I was fishing no fish were showing.
As I moved upstream I saw rising fish and caught my first fish, on a nymph but then changed to dries and caught 2 more. By 2pm all rising had stopped and so did I.

A hard day for casting and also for seeing the dries but worth the visit.

River was perfect but looks like the cold snap may have stopped the hatch no fly on the water so fishing was tough got 4 nice fish on spiders so happy , a couple of cormorants on the beat too .

The eagerly awaited lunchtime hatch of March browns was postponed until 2.15pm but this sparse hatch did stimulate a rise. Hooked 3 fish on a dry March brown and managed to get 1 to the net. Other fish caught on a copper John.

1 rod fished spiders - single trout, the other a dry fly (Jingler) accounted for 3 including a 1.5 pounder .
Rain held off until later so a warm still day with plenty rising mid pm.
Lovely beat, very accessible.

6 trout, two to 16 inches. Three on the dry dropper, one on the dry (klink), and two on the euronymph.

March Brown hatch 1310 for only around 10 minutes, but chaos for that period. A slow trickle hatching off 1230-1600.

March Brown hatch and fish caught on dry Jinglers at the top of the beat. Unable to tempt anything outside the short hatch period.

Struggled with the wind, missed and lost a few, but nothing to the net.
