Fished from 08:00-14:00. Three anglers fished today and split the water evenly.
Fishing was slower early on in the shaded sections (possibly now insect activity because of cooler temps). Took fish on dry and dropper rigs throughout the day (the odd double nymph when the water was deep enough).
Fish responded well to shuttle-cock style dries (emergers) and natural cdc collar nymphs. 2.5mm beads worked well.
Average size was about 18cm. Some larger fish (25-35cm) taken but no real brutes this time.

Very tough days fishing with the weather bright, warm and clear. Rainfall the night before had risen the water level by a good few inches which peaked at midday and then slowly started to drop again. A dry dropper was used for most of the day but a streamer did produce a couple knocks. In the end just as the light was fading in the upper section of the beat I tempted a nice little brownie on a hairs ear nymph

Fished a dry dropper all day. Most successful nymph was the size 18 black micro nymph with a small tail. Had loads of hookups but they won in the fight's. Ended up netting 2 beautiful half pound brown trout

Three fish up to 13 inches during moderate evening rise (about 9-10pm), when the fish were being very fussy - a small (size 18) dun eventually worked
