Water gin clear and trout feeding from the surface. Great late afternoon and evening fishing.

Lovely water. Good chance to “read” it.

8 trout to 14”, 2 small grayling and 2 shad (one at about 12”) all on nymphs and all returned in good health.

Fished 8am-1pm.
A very enjoyable morning surrounded by abundant fly life, including some May flies, once the day warmed up a bit and splashing salmon. Very few rising fish.
Just above 0.8 on the Erwood gauge and falling. Carrying some colour.
First time on this beat and there is certainly a lot of water to cover. With Water temperatures in the mid 16’s I focused on the faster water. 5 trout to the net all on nymphs. Many bumped which at least kept the concentration up. Excitingly also landed 4 Shad. They have some real power. The largest getting on 3lbs and put up an incredible fight on my 3wt nymph rod.

Fishing Passport Note: Please remember that Shad are a protected species, therefore you cannot specifically target them and if you come across a shoal, you should look at moving to another pool.
