Nice little stream with good water levels for this time of year. It goes past a sewage treatment works which you can smell, but it's OK - seems like it's operating correctly. Two decent trout to the net, one 10" on a #20 Klinkhammer, one on 8" a #20 weighted nymph.

A blustery day with wind gusting. Stream was quite low. Nothing rising. I managed to catch a nice wild brown approx 8" on a size 16 ptn fished under a klinkhammer. A pleaent few hours. Lots of Himalayan Balsam in some areas. Saw a Kingfisher.

Had a great morning session on the dry fly . Caught enough fish on the nymph in this stream so far this season, so decided to bring a small selection of dry flies and emerges. Plenty of rises, but managed to spook most of the fish with cluncky casting. Something I could have got away with, with higher water levels and dull light conditions. I missed a few takes on a size 16 brown Klink. Then, switched to a size 18 and managed to convince four juveniles . Not sure where all the bigger trout are, caught only juveniles this season thus far?

The river was extremely low today. Not seen it this low before. Fishing was quite difficult with the bright conditions. Some of usual pools where fish would usually be didn’t produce today. Slim pickings but managed a single small brownie, returned safely.

River was in perfect condition. Only spent an hour but managed to catch a couple on the nymph.

It's been a few years since I last fished this beat. Some interesting changes with new growth blocking the odd pool and slightly changed flow opening up new bits.

A lovely sunny day but I think the water is still a touch cold at just under 7C. I saw a fish or two in each of the deep pools but couldn't tempt them. A handful of small rises in a couple of shallow stretches but from very small fish.

Complete blank today. Very cold easterly wind which lasted all day, although it did warm up after 1.00pm. To my surprise there was a fish rising for anything that floated by including catkin buds and as I had left my willow catkin fly at home, anything I put at it, it turned it's nose up and ignored it!!

River was I good condition, clear and normal levels. Managed to tempt a solitary small brown on a PTN.
