A few fish rising through the afternoon and into the evening to sparse hatches of march browns, LDO's, sedges and smaller flies. Hooked four decent sized fish on a variety of dries. The first broke my line running between rocks and the next two shook the hook close to the net. It was 20.30 before I set the hook properly.

Blank day with absolutely nothing seen all day. No rises, no pulls not even a scared fish fleeing! Lovely stretch of river but where are the stocks of small fish I've seen here in previous years? Did see a Goosander with 9-10 chicks (but not laying the blame there). Low water with cool downstream wind.

Trout very shy and difficult fish. Maybe the full blasting sun and the otter played their part in that. Still a wonderful day!

Bright sunshine and a good hatch of BWO all day, lots of action on dries and lots of missed splashy takes. Great fun and a lovely place to fish

A truly beautiful morning of bright sun-shine and very hot, good for a walk with a camera (and toting a dry fly rod along), but nothing hatched and nothing rose. Had to leave at 1.30.
