Tough with river high on this beat, but fabuolous to see river life thriving, with Yellow Mays hatching, and many more uprights coming off. Great to be back on the river.

Challenging wading, esp.ecially at this water height. Couldn't match the hatch at all!

Three brown trout, ranging from 7 inches to 16 inches, taken on an NZ setup: biggest fish took the dry.
This is a cracking beat that looked beautiful in the spring sunshine, and conditions were perfect after a week of high, muddy water apparently. Sparse hatches throughout the day.
Wading is indeed tricky in places, but easier in the bottom half of the beat – you should definitely have a wading stick as well as felt soles and studs.
Will be back!

Difficult conditions with the river running fast so no fish but a lovely afternoon!

The river was still running very strong indeed which made fishing difficult...but very enjoyable nonetheless.

River very coloured after over night rain but did manage a fish of about a pound on a tungsten headed nymph and a couple more on and off. Lovely stretch of river but unfortunately poor conditions.
PS: Lost my trusted Rohan Pilkington hat down river so on the off chance anyone finds it would very much appreciate its return.

Warm, light wind and a few fish rising. Steady takes through the day. 5 on nymphs and 2 on emerger pattern. All 11-13inches with one smaller fish. Lovely day, many thanks to the WUF office for advice yesterday.

4 good trout to 14" caught. Lovely stretch of river but wading tricky.

Fished nymph and caught 4 good fish up to 17". Used pink tag and peeping caddis, hard going but plenty of features. Lovely river but wadding very tricky, especially for Dad. Thank you.
