This was an introduction to fly fishing for a complete beginner and a reintroduction for relative novice. Despite 20mph westerlies and the occasional downpour, we had a fantastic day on The Rectory, catching consistently throughout on nymphs and dry flies. The Rock Pool at the top end of the beat was more sheltered so we fished that and the Bridge Flats, where trout and grayling rose to small CDC emergers. The slightly coloured water no doubt helped but all-in-all, we couldn't have asked for a better result.

17 Trout, 7 Grayling

Salmon Parr caught in the island swim, 3 small brown trout caught either side of the bridge. River was higher than normal and quite coloured following heavy rainfall. Water quality was poor and smelt quite unpleasant, insect life in the river appeared low with very few fish rising at all even well into the evening.

No fish taken.
