Had 3 days at Barnard Castle, fish rising at end of caravan park and opposite Egglestone Abbey, a lot of fish rising, but at my last vist finding what they were taking was difficult, tried everything in the box. one on a palmered Whickham, 3 on a Griffiths and the last on a Shipmans Buzzer. Beautiful scenery, slippery rocks, but had a lovely time.

River very high.

Warm, overcast with bursts of sunshine, slight breeze but fine for cast control.
Various fly types on the water, but trout rising to take yellow may duns. Hatches were spasmodic but when on, trout seen to leap into the air to take them. Takes were often aggressive and all fish caught and more lost, were fishing a dun imitation.

Fished after few days of rain, lower beat. No luck. Various wet flys.

We fished a good range of flies in the heat of a very hot day. 11am - 4pm. Far from ideal in such conditions.

All fish returned to the river. 9 of them caught on dries.
