Fished from 12.00 to 16.00. The afternoon started badly, chilly and overcast. As the time wore on the sun appeared from behind the clouds. Very little evidence of a hatch but the fish seemd ready to rise to my dry fly. I ended up with two nice fish at 10 inches, 3 more about 8 ins and one at 6 inches. I missed many more rises to my para Adams. A lovely stretch and a satisfying afternoon on the dry fly.
PS. It might be worth making it clear on the instructions for the beat that cars should be parked at the very far end of the parking bay - where the asphalt stops and the grass begins or on the other side of the road. I thought I had left room for the owner to turn his tractor but apparently not. The farmer was perfectly pleasant, but it might be helpful to be completely clear about the parking requirements.

After a tough morning lower down the system fished about half of Hergest for the afternoon. Water still quiet low but a decent enough flow through. All fish caught to variety of dry.

Water low,lots of fly life few rises. Small wbt on nymph and grey klink. 8 trout to 11", most in the tail of the runs. Beautiful day on a beautiful beat.

A beautiful day, and as usual this beat was wonderful. But no fish moving . . . .

A half-hour rise around 4pm, by very small trout. The one I landed was a 6" troutling, returned.

River again in beautiful condition, but no sign of fish. Have to get stealthier!

Fished a duo rig on this delightful beat, of which I only explored the lower half. Turned over a few fish, but they were small.

A quite warm spring day with lighter winds than of late. Plenty of fly life in the air including several different Olives and Sedge's. Occasional fish rising in the slow sunny pools where I caught 4 on an IOBO size 16. The rest came from the riffles to a Gold head nymph. Biggest of the day around 10 inches. Made it past the waterfall for the first time where there are a couple more nice pools.

I moved from the Cammarch around midday and fished the Edw from 1.30 until 5.30. Fishing was dead on the Cammarch but the Edw was buzzing! 6 of the 8 were caught fishing duo with a size 18 tungsten bead PTN the other 2 came to size 14 olive klinkhammer. Kingfisher flashing by and an intense simultaneous hatch of olives and little black midges...fish were preoccupied by the midges which I couldn't match and after having eaten their fill could not be tempted by anything else.
