1x 8inch WBT to the net, taken on #18 PTN fished upstream and safely returned. Beat is extremely low and trout are spooky. Fish rising throughout the day predominantly in the flats. I stalked these with #20 klinkhamer & #20 Griffith Gnat which produced plenty of rises and hook-ups, but all lost before I could net them. Overall good sport but patience and extreme stealth required.

Fished during the evening and caught a couple of small trout. However, whilst upstream nymphing with a size 14 pheasnt tail hooked a much bigger fish of just under 3lbs.
After discussion with WUF staff I think it was a very small grilse. Sea trout or salmon, it was a fairly fresh fish and a very welcome surprise. The fish was safely returned.

River was very low and weather a bit too hot and unfortunately no fish caught but what a fantastic location! A few fish moving but very shallow clear water made them exceptionally spooky.

Not one of my best days. River very low and conditions bright sun all day. Managed to winkle out 3 trout from under trees tight up against the bank. Not much rising all day suprisingly. One about a pound and two about 4oz.
Must remember not to pick half term week again. Kids at the bottom of the stretch and playing in the river in a pool half way up the stretch.

Very quiet day. Lots of mayfly, but no hatch or rise throughout the day. Water level very low - below the summer flow mark on the gauge.
