River level low but quite clear. Abundance of different fly life inc. mayfly and some browns but only some rises seen. Fish taken on nymphs-beaded pheasant and red tag all about 0.5lbs near the bridge section on the flats.

Oh dear , A blank ! Super low water , bright sunshine , grumpy fish . We packed in early due to the rain . Im sure we would have had a few fish around dusk

Very hard wading on this beat , wading staff essential !!!

Tough going but lovely surroundings

Not unexpectedly a hard day. Gin clear and low water and bright skys all contributed to just 4 fish being brought to the net during an 8hr day. Best Trout was 15" and a lovely fish. All the fish took nymphs as there was virtually no rise during the day (up to 6pm) despite fly coming off. We enjoyed the beat as it was a new one to us so we will return seeking (hopefully) better sport

Beautiful still and sunny day, lovely beat. Good hatches. Just very little evidence of fish feeding. The fish I did spot were very spooky - river is crystal clear at the moment. Eventually caught a lovely WBT deep on a nymph.

Very little sign of any fish rising until mid afternoon despite seemingly ideal conditions on this lovely stretch of river. When the fish finally did take an interest in surface fly (I tried various nymphs sub-surface before this), I started to get quite a bit of interest in my Klinkhammer offering. Unfortunately for me I seemed unable to connect, probably because I was a little too eager (striking too early?) on my first day out this year. Eventually I did manage to connect and with a wonderful fish around 18" in length which put-up a significant fight; very satisfying.
