Bit of a slow start to the day, a few caught on nymphs, epic dry fly action into darkness, mainly on olives

cold downstream wind blowing most of day which made casting difficult. 4 fish caught on mixture of dries and nymphs

All fish carefully released alive . Two were on the pound mark and fought hard . A very enjoyable day on this lovely beat. Unfortunately , a cold downstream wind scuppered the evening rise .

A very quiet start with only one fish early on. At around 4pm the fish started rising and a further 7 were caught, all on a small Adams Irresistible.

1 x brown trout 12'', taken on a grey Parachute Adams. Nice dry fly water above the bridge. Sporadic rises of yellow mayfly and brown duns throughout the day. Good beat.

My first time on this interesting, varied beat . Some fly life including the odd Mayfly and the usual "one rise every 10 minutes" as fish randomly cruised in the flats under the road bridge.
Two fish on nymph and one lost as it tried the unusual tactic of charging towards me and trying to jump in my waders !
Water quality wasn't as I expected as it was very slightly turbid and with plenty of brown algae drifting down - the trout didn't mind.
Annoyingly I lost my perspex box of dry flies early on so didn't wait for the evening rise. If anyone finds it you can easily identify it as it contains mostly Klinks and will have a group of trout nearby shaking their sides with mirth !
