Short time trout fishing, evening and morning. Trout rising to dry fly; too quick for this old soul. Sporadic rises throughout day, especially the areas in the wood's shade. Stayed at Swanmeadow, lunch and a beer at The Black Bear, super.

Fished with G late evening down woodstream. I landed 4 and G 1 on partridge and orange and deerhair sedge 14 fished subsurface. Had fish on both. Reverted to dry at The Rock for last half hour and landed one at half pound and lost the best fish of around one and a half lb after a few minutes battle. Both took the wulff.
Great sport but need some rain to help the fishing.

Not as productive as Monday but still landed and returned 7 fish, best 12oz, with 5 taken on pheasant tail nymph with lureflash tail, and 2 late on on dry wulff including the largest which smashed the wulff when tweaked across the current below rock. Some good trout come up the streamy bit out of the Chine late on but they are very wary and difficult to get them to take.
Water 19 deg and 0.4m

River 0.4 and gin clear. Temp 30c at 7pm and still 24c at 10pm. John and I opted for trout fishing spider partridge and orange and small greenwells nymph subsurface in Woodstream and Top Run resulting in 11 for me and 5 for John from par to 12 oz. Good sport! All returned.
Switched to dry wulff size 14 at 9.30pm and had another 4 but some large trout showed in the streamy water below the rock but unable to tempt any of these. Suspect they had moved up from the pool late on. John had one more in tail of Chine pool.

No fish spotted, another disappointing day. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

1 x 15 inch WBT caught on PTN - all very quiet except for a leaping salmon.
