Very pleasant day. Blue sky’s and warm. Three small fish. One on nymph and two on dry fly. Hoped for bigger but just small fish today.

Lovely day of glorious weather exploring this lovely beat. Some on the dry and some on the nymph. Best 17”. In truth started a bit late. Flats quite high at this height but plenty of places to fish. Could not get right down to the bridge at the bottom of the beat.

Weather varied all day with sun rain and cloud cover. River highish but very fishable. 5 thought caught on beads nymph on a French leader in the faster water. Pale watery hatch at 2PM caused half an hours dry fly action on one of the glides below Ashford bend. Caught 2 and missed many. All fish safely returned with out handling them. Fish mostly of just over l lb.

Buckland may be a great beat when conditions are right but today it was quite hard going. There aren’t too many features and the riffles are mainly fairly shallow and gravelly. But I scratched around and found some fish and shared a pool with an otter on two occasions. The fish I did catch were generally smallish with a handful over the pound and one at 2lb 1 oz. A good day then, not a great day.

got there, river running high,did not fish.

Arrived at the beat at 1pm and met by the owner who was very helpful. Managed 8 fish to a dry para Adams before the river rose and coloured up at 4.30pm and cut short my day. I was looking forward to the evening rise. Never mind, that's fishing for you!
