Did not fish

Fishing on Friday evening session for about 2 hours. It was nice sunny day and brilliant sunshine. People & dogs were swimming in the river. Wading was not easy due to the coloured water. There were plenty of Mayfly hatches, however no rising trout at all, again due to the coloured water . I’ve managed one beautiful browny by #12 Goldhead nymph.

The river was very coloured. I only fished the top section for a few hours starting around 10:30. Caught two on a pheasant tailed nymph and finally one on a dry fly. Access to the water was reasonable and wading was easy.

Great hatches during and after rain showers. Caught plenty of well sized Browns on May fly sized dry flies.

Lovely day on good stretch of river but few insects and trout not rising

A beautiful afternoon to be out here - almost summer. 10 trout to 15", all to PTN aside from the fish pictured which took a DHE during a very short lived spell of fish taking emergers. Mayfly around but not many obviously on the water and nothing taking duns in the afternoon. It's not the easiest fishing but there are fish in there - I probably lost another half dozen or so, including one pool near the bottom where I had at least 4 takes from different fish in quick succession but only managed to land one. I stayed at the Bell and at 9.30pm there was a cracking rise going on, although I wasn't getting a rod back out after dinner!

It was really cold and starting to rain when I arrived. I expected a tough day as the rain got heavier and seemingly the temperature dropped further. Surprisingly though,I had a productive day (by my standards), catching 10 trout, all on a blue-winged olive. Most were in the 8 - 10" range but two were in excess of 15" and lovely fish. This is a nice beat with good access. I will return.

Tricky day as water low and very few fish feeding on the top despite a fair few mayflies coming off. Enjoyable fishing nonetheless.
