River like liquid chocolate after rain in previous 12 hours. Waited until pm and tried a duo with sparkly nymph but no takes. Early bath

Haven’t been to this beat in a couple of seasons and arriving to a coloured river I thought I had totally mistimed it … caught over 25 lovely trout on spiders and dries. The extra water encouraged the fish to feed on & off for most of the day.

Conditions seemed perfect but there was little surface activity despite good mixed hatch of fly. Had to work very hard to find and fool some fish. Expected more activity into the late evening but the evening rise never seemed to really get going. Took a few trout during the day on sunken soft hackle patterns and was able to target the few risers in the evening with single #18 midge parachute. With so few fish moving and only sporadic rises it was difficult to find a regular feeder to target. In the end a few to the net on #18 parachute midge and super long fine leader. Tricky stuff.
