River high but very clear. Despite chilly weather LDOs hatched in huge numbers from 12-3.30pm, but strangely very few fish came to the surface. Those that did were willing to take a Comparadun among numerous naturals. 5 trout : 14"14"13"11"10".

The river is still very cold. I think the recent snow has set back the river by a week or two. Hopefully it will wake up by Easter.

Rained all day, no fish caught this time

Bright sunlight with water low and clear made fishing difficult. Thought I had hooked the mother of all trout as it tore off line and ran downstream. Turned out to be a 12 inch brownie foul hooked in the dorsal fin. Oh well. Apart from that and a couple of parr, nothing caught. A beautiful stretch though, so will return when there is more water.

The river level was very low as expected and the water very clear. Light cloud cover in the morning helped. Two smallish trout were caught, one using nymphing techniques, the other on a deer hair caddis on the duo. Two much larger trout lost, both hooked on a PTN beneath the deer hair caddis. All fish returned. Beautiful beat with some really nice faster and slower runs a pools for upstream trout fishing.
