Great to be back on the river again. Water low and clear, weather not bad at all. I waited all day for that big early season hatch of flies which would bring the fish on feeding - but it never came. Never mind. Four pulls on a downstream nymph, of which one came to the net.

One lovely brown trout, perhaps 18 inches or so. Took a hare's ear nymph as soon as it landed.

River high and clear, hard going the rest of the day!

One fish lost at the top end.

Unplanned fishing due to such a good day previously. Only fished from 7-11am as was meant to be traveling back to Scotland early doors. Stonker of a fight first thing in the morning with a 1.5lb trout that thought she was a 10lber in the top pool around 830/9am, had hooked up a double brownie in the same spot the day previously but this was a whole new fish. Can't wait to come back and explore more of the beat only covered a small section over the two visits, so much good water to explore.

cold weather, the river was at a perfect level and quite clear but not crystal , olives were about but no rises and the nymphs were not working either , the high water in the winter and the bank work has made the casting much better ,as i live quite close will be back for more sessions during the year .

Except for 15 minute hatch when only some small fish made splashy rises in the faster water, no action all day.
