One trout 1lb 3/4 taken on an emerger during a short hatch around 1ish. Saw very few other fish for the rest of the day.

The river was looking in nice condition, but a biting east wind meant there was very little activity. A few small upwings came off early afternoon and that was that. Bumped one fish on a spider. An interesting beat.

total blank today , so much fly on the water and other than a lost fish of about 2lb nothing. I was not impressed with this beat for the price and come summer would be very hard to reach the water safely. a lovely day to be out though.

A beautiful warm spring day and an amazing hatch of march browns that only lasted for 45 minutes. The hatch got one or two fish moving but they were hard to catch. Ended up with 1 fish of 1 3/4lb and a few missed. A few olives were showing but no interest from the trout. We tried nymphs but no takers.

River high and quick but clear with slight tinge. Air temp 8 degrees on arrival rising to 10.5. Wind slight. Wading interesting in the strong flow.Sporadic rises to MB and LDO; Jingler and Emerger worked well.

No fish and despite commando style fishing conditions, this was enjoyable. The river was in perfect condition and who knows what may have been possible if half of the pools had been fishable.

Note to owner. Some tree branch cutting is desperately needed to open up the pools to Salmon angling. I am sure that in low water for trout these dense bankside trees will not be a problem, but if serious about salmon fishing in high water far too many pools and runs are inaccessible which is a shame.

Very bright day, spend few hours on the river from 12-5pm. Lovely day out!

storm brings water levels a tad higher higher but winds make casting hard. Only had a couple of hours, one missed. Nice stretch of water
