My first outing on the Passport scheme - thoroughly enjoyable beat, very much a small stream. Fished from 12.00-2.30, no real hatch and absolutely nothing rising, missed two and caught one about 6", GHRE under klink. Which I was pretty pleased with, but then slightly paled with second beat tried today...

4 x trout 6-9 inches, Goldbead Hare's Ear nymph. Obviously. I don't think we are going to see rising fish for a while yet, so it was a case of trundling a nymph along the bottom of some of the slower pools.

3 x trout 6-10 inches, Rusty Klinkhammer. Very difficult today as this brook, like the other forest streams, is still very low and clear. even as yet another flood comes down the Wye.

Fished around 1130-1430. Stream was deeper and cooler with the recent rain but the water was fairly clear and looked very promising. The banks are getting very overgrown now making casting impossible around a number of pools - himalayan balsam in abundance - and I got tangled up a few times.
Not much visible activity; fairly few fish spooked in the pool tails as I tramped through, suggesting they were mostly holding in the deeper parts? Spotted one fish rising after an hour and, when covered, he promptly took an olive klinkhammer but threw it after a few seconds. No more rises seen and the three that did stay on were all around 7" and took a soft-hackled ptn fished close to the bottom.
Very pleasant afternoon.

River a bit coloured with good flow following recent rain. Only saw 1 fish rise which I managed to catch on a size 16 rusty klinkhammer-9"wbt. 2 smaller wbt on gold head Hares Ear. Beat is very overgrown at present with lots of Himalayan Balsam making casting a real challenge.

Low water, humid conditions. Heavy rain @ 16:00 called it a day.

5 x trout 6-8 inches, Rusty Klinkhammer. A quick early morning trip up the channel with water very low and fish remarkably spooky - mostly on the pool tails. I missed or spooked a lot, but it was good to be out after a week indoors
