12 inch 390gms brownie. Dry fly at Bottom pool - black fly with blue trim end of morning. Weather dry and warm some fish rising - some Mayfly and black midge type predominant. Went on to rain and dull.

Conditions seemed promising, but only one small trout to report. If I had managed to bring to the net a larger fish that I hooked briefly, it would have turned a disappointing day into a success!

The few upwings hatching today sailed down the river largely unmolested. We had just one fish on a dry, the rest coming on a mix of nymphs and small streamers.

Took four early on nymphs then odd sporadic rises showed fish had changed depth so changed to spiders and managed another three and in afternoon more regular rises prompted change to dries and took another three after some trial and error on small cdc shuttlecock emergers. Fantastic days fishing.

First warm, calm day in weeks! River has really benefitted from the recent rain. Running clear and still dropping slightly over the course of the day. All the algae has been flushed away.

PTN in the morning but a sporadic hatch from around 14:00 caused switch to dry fly. Hatch a mixture of olives, black gnats and pale wateries. First mayfly of the year (for me at least) emerged - to be grabbed by a wagtail. Four nice trout from the bottom of the beat on a #14 Dark Olive.

Note new sheep fencing is being installed along the bank. Access to the top flats is over the style or a long wade upstream. May get easier as levels drop futrher

High water but dropped a fair bit throughout the day. Visiting anglers managed to catch 2 trout, one on spiders and the other on the dry when a few fish we seen rising. Lovely place to spend a day.

Recent rains made for a high and very coloured river, but I managed to tempt a few fish with a nymph including one lovely fish of 2lbs.
