Fished for a couple of hours, hot evening, one decent fish on then off!! Klinkhammer off the surface.

Wet conditions but much less windy that the last few days. River was up a bit with a good flow, but quite clear. Various hatches of olive, midge and sedge. Caught 1 fish on a GHRE, but the rest came on an X-caddis which was used to target rising fish. Most fish were 8-10inches with 2 notable exceptions weighing in at 2lbs. All returned. Only fished the lower section, so still much to explore on this beat.

6 or 7 trout to a mixture of nymphs and dries in low water on a very hot and bright day. Not much action in the heat of the afternoon but a few fish started to show as the light began to fade. Many thanks WUF.

Bright clear day, crystal clear water, no wind. A few midge hatches but nothing else. Hooked two but did not get them to the net.

Fished French leader and new Zealand style. We both kept zero fish as have to protect the future of wild trout!

River clear with bright sunlight. Good water levels. Some fish rising later in the afternoons. Fished with dry and nymphs. Fish easily spooked. Enjoyable 2 days fishing, although no fish caught. Stuck to the downstream half of the beat as just so pretty.

After a flood the previous day the river was down and clear and the day warm and bright. Good hatches of olives and a few small fish rising under trees, otherwise very quiet. I suspect evening might have been better but I was unable to stay late.

This is a nice stretch of water although I struggled to tarry up the directions with the map. Each individually made sense but not together. Probably just me! It was a lovely day but I saw nothing rise and no fish. Again, probably just me!

Perfect river conditions but cold and raining. Beautiful spot. 1 small trout landed and returned but had we been proper fishermen we would have caught more.

Blanked. Hot sunny day, gin clear water. Fished from 0930 till 1600, despite a profusion of fly life (yellow mays, mayflies, olives in a range of sizes and a lot of hawthorns) I only found three rising fish, spooked two and hooked one for it to come off shortly after. Tried prospecting with a dry, the duo and upstream nymphing with a variety of weighted patterns to no avail. Did see a couple of cormorants that might have spooked the fish.
