Both were caught on a hare's ear and partridge spider. I had to leave at lunchtime, when it was starting to warm up and flies, particularly stoneflies, were starting to come off the water.

no fish to the net today. river running really high. Lost a small one on nymphs and a had a take from something bigger on streamers

Short session fished on the upper pools some lovely water.

Wets and drys both caught fish.

Found this stretch of the Tees at Barnard Castle very difficult to access so didn’t fish. I noted the advice of the local club that to be careful and use a wading stick but I really think there should be better local knowledge given to day ticket purchasers.

Tough conditions, water very low. But a superb location and plenty rising around me and further upstream, tricky to catch, lost a lot more than I hooked. Part of the fun, will be back!

Nothing caught

Tougher fishing than last time. Few missed fish but one really nice grayling and two small trout all on nymphs.

Low water levels and difficult conditions. A few fish were lost, in addition to the two landed. The fish landed were caught on small streamers.
A mink was sighted hunting along the edge of the river, downstream of the castle, behind the houses at the bottom of town.
An enjoyable afternoon, thank you.

Fished the BCAC stretch of the Tees from top the their water to bottom. Mostly nymphing caught at least 12 grayling (some over a pound) and 6 brown trout, mostly small but one large. All fish returned quickly to the water. River was low and clear.
