No country for old men ???? Including boiling temperatures, low water and geography this was very difficult fishing 10 - 16:00. Little hatching. Trout came to BWO and emerging olive. Biggest 10". I did manage to use my 9' /4. Simple rig of 7' braided leader/5' tippet.

River running low and muddy making site fishing impossible plenty of fly life in the air and on the water but fish not interested caught two small trout about 10 inches on nymph in faster water

A beautiful summers day on the beat I grew up fishing with my father and grandfather. Warm (24c) with intermittent cloud. Fished from 2pm to 8.30pm with a break in the Bell.

There were light intermittent hatches through the afternoon of a variety of species. Some mayfly still but mainly sedges, olives and tiny caenis (?). The bottom section and the slow water just upstream of the wooded section most productive on dries. A lovely day on my favourite beat in the world. In the end a parachute Adams took my fish.

No flies showed. Searched with dries and managed two fish. Needed to be very stealthy.

Poor weather conditions with intermittent heavy rain and a gusty wind. Water slightly coloured. Very little fly life evident and only an occasional fish seen rising. Tried a variety of traditional wet flies and nymphs and hooked but lost one fish in the central part of the beat. However, a very nice stretch of river which I hope to return to in better weather.

A pleasant day. A few trout rising but no steady activity. Caught nothing

Lovely stretch of river. Fished in the afternoon and evening, with showers on and off throughout. Numerous fish rising in the slower, deeper stretches, especially to spent mayfly late afternoon. Missed a few takes but eventually managed to net one.
