Lovely setting even though the river was high and coloured. Caught three nice small WBT. Thanks.

Fished in the evening with the river at a good height but still a bit coloured. Caught a couple of small fish on dry flies but saw nothing bigger move all evening.
I fished into the darkness hoping for some activity but nothing happened. It was a strange experience having lots of bats swooping very close and low over the river.

Arrived with the intention of fishing the "evening rise" only to be rained off within an hour ! Some downpour it was too! Hope the young family camping opposite the house were ok. Nil caught.

Lot of fish caught in dry fly. Small and medium during the day and bigger one at sunset (all released).

Water low and clear. Some rain during afternoon and early evening.

No sign of surface activity. All fish to nymph fished deep. All fish returned.

Whatever happened to flaming June? Here we are with the days getting shorter but its still cold enough to fog our breath. This malarkey does not get any more predictable after 50 years of piscatorial perambulations.
With precipitation to the fore even the sheep couldn't be bothered to run away from us. But the fish did. What a struggle - despite a decent hatch. We finally managed a brownie each - a sympathy vote by the fish I think - but gave up at 4, cold and wet. Ah well - perhaps the weather might be better by Thursday?

Fishing tough, rain and wind all day. I did not see one rise thoroughout the river. Even though I didn't see or catch a fish I still like this beat will return when the weather warms up a bit.

A lovely afternoon with activity at about 3pm. One rising fish refused a gold-head, a pheasant's tail and a klinkhammer but took a dry olive on the first cast.

Was pleased to see the recent rain hadn't affected this beat when I arrived mid-morning. Due to the gusty winds and intermittent showers I decided to start fishing at the downstream end of the beat on a French nymph set-up.
I managed to pick up lots of small wbt using this method. Early afternoon saw me connect with something a little larger and after a good acrobatic display a 1 1/4lb wbt was in the net. Shortly after the heavens opened and taking cover was the only option. A 1hr wait followed and when the skies eventually cleared unfortunately the river had started to colour up. I persevered for another couple of hours but with nil return. Left the river early evening.
