Hard days fishing nothing caught or seen

A lot of water but fished on for a couple of hours with no joy

River rose over a foot as soon as I turned up! Long drive home

Didn't get to fish, went skiing instead !!

1 Brown trout and 1 Grayling on a red neck ptn at the start of the day. Then at 12:30 a hatch of March Brown and LDO started and then the wind picked up and put them back down. There was an occasional fish rising so I put a very delicate small dry fly with cdc wings which was smashed on the first cast by an 8 inch wbt. Unfortunately the fly was destroyed by the trout so I had to compromise and use a similar fly, without the same result. The March Browns and LDO’s continued to hatch sporadically throughout the afternoon until we left at 4pm.
Final tally was 3 Grayling and 5 Brown trout, it was a pleasure to take fish off the surface again, happy days!

6 Trout, 2 Grayling

River gin clear and falling. Good hatch of flies around mid day with a few fish rising but cold downstream wind didn't help.
Still a nice day to be out on a nice beat.

1 Trout

Nothing seen apart from an otter in one of the lower pools , small hatch however nothing raising .

Nothing seen or touched. Good hatch of March browns from lunchtime onwards. Also a hatch of 6 canoes which played around in the pools for a good hour, before they disembarked at upper heirag for a walk along the banks. I pointed out the voluntary agreement, and the line on the gauge, and that they were on private land, but they weren’t bothered in the slightest.
