Blank!

Just a word on this beat and continuation from another angler's comments: it's probably the most filthy bit of water I've ever fished. Strewn metal, plastic in the willows, tyres, tubes, pretty much anything you could imagine. However, fishing was alright on a cold day! Trout came on bright nymphs early and a swung muddler later as nothing was rising but a small hatch of olives took off.

Three trout between 10 and 14", which all came in about a one hour window in the early afternoon, while some mayflies were hatching. All returned as usual. Thought the mayflies were march browns at first but in fact LDOs I think - fish refused march brown dry/emerger patterns, but I then got all my takes on an Imperial. River totally dead either side of the hatch though. the fish only turned on when a hatch was underway. Lovely to be out on the river again and catching on dries - thanks again!

All fish caught using the Duo with most of the fish taking the nymph. The biggest was my seasons best at 19” and in great condition.
