Had a wonderful 3lb Brown trout and another about half that weight ( on soft hackle dry ) as it was getting almost too dark to see. Hopeless dry, bright conditions, water level low.

Two brown trout caught early in the day, before the sun started beating down, one on a Klinkhammer, the other on a Sawyers Grub, best 15 1/2". Two others connected with briefly on the Klinkhammer, all in the rougher pocket water. The longer flats look amazing for the dry fly, and would probably have been great on this day, as there was plenty of fresh and clear water, but sadly I had to leave at 3pm so will have to come back to try that. A lovely beat.

Tough day - a few rises and just a trickle of Fly life. I tried everything - duos, large and small, weighted and not. Different indicators, damsel nymphs, wets, the works. One of those days?

Tough day. Didn't see a fish until I hooked a lump towards the top of the beat late in the afternoon (on GH PTN); lost it at the net but would have made easy 2 1/2 lb. Thereafter took a few - best 2 lb - on dries in the lower flats. Huge hatch of allsorts switched the fish on at about 21:00 and the otter swimming past me at 21:45 seemed a logical conclusion to affairs. As others have said, a wading staff is a very sensible thing to have.

Four trout caught on a dry fly, all of them released back to the river. Lots of flies in the river so trout were feeding continuously - they were very selective and spooky though.

Tough day, with very low water, high bright sun and temperatures hitting 28C. Despite the conditions, DB and SB managed to winkle out 2 trout each. Smallest approx. 1/2lb largest close to 1 1/2lb. All fish were in excellent condition and safely returned. Fish taken from deeper channels using heavy tungsten nymphs (PTN). Lots of fly life throughout the day, but nothing rising at all. Great day to out in a wonderful part of the world.
