Fished in the evening. Quite some rises and Lots of different insects so not easy to find what works. Very Nice fishery!

Various olives hatching, some mayflies and yellow May duns also. Cold north wind eventually put off insects, fish and anglers.

Fished for few hours in the evening. Nice to see so many insects on the water but although trout were rising frequently, I couldn’t work out what they were taking. One trout on a tiny CDC dry, then three more after changing to a team of wets. Two decent fish of just over a pound and all took a snipe and purple.

Late afternoon spent here with lots of fish rising, difficult to work out what they were taking. Managed to temp a few with mayfly. 3 fish caught, largest around 1lb.

Didn’t start fishing until 5pm. Hard going. Plenty of fish showing later on but they weren’t interested in most of our offerings. Few takes and lost one on small pheasant tail nymph . First time here but nice stretch of water .

A truly delightful day with glorious weather and no wind. Surprisingly, we did not see any other anglers on the water.

In the morning we found a gentle long glide where trout were rising feeding on minute olive emergers. Stealth, extra long leaders and microscopic flies were a must. We managed to tempt a couple of fish after numerous casts.

We changed tactics in the afternoon looking for rises in the more shaded areas, underneath overhanging trees on the opposite bank. It required patience and more challenging casts but our efforts were rewarded adding 5 more fish to the tally. Also managed to capture the hatching process of a Large Brook Dun which was fascinating.

A memorable day when nymphs were intentionally left behind. As a famous fishing writer once said...it is not how many fish you catch, but how you catch them. Thank you WUF. We will be back again.
