Stream low and clear, so tough going. Casting tricky in many places due to plant and tree cover (8ft 3wt was a little long). Found best tactic was to find a fishy looking place with space for a back cast and wait for rises. A lot of junk in the stream (old tyres, fence panels etc), but lots of fish. Good fun and a rewarding challenge (missed as many as caught). Hawthorn, iron dunn and black ant (all small) all worked well.
Look forward to returning soon.

8 x trout 6-8 inches on Rusty Klinkhammer size 16. Plus one salmon smolt, all silvered up ready to go to sea...once there is a bit of water to wash it down. Quite difficult today with cold temperatures overnight and the river very low and clear.

Nice morning spent on the river. 2 WBT caught on black Klinkhammer, 1X6inch, 1X9inch, missed another two. Not a lot of activity but an early hatch meant some fish rising.

Fished 1600-1800 on a sunny and breezy afternoon. First hundred yards of the beat are quite tight and the casting beyond my abilities, leaving me frequently tangled up in branches. I spooked fish in all of the first 6 pools I came to but then the foliage opened up and allowed me to get a decent cast in. 6 wbt up to about 8" taken in the final hour on a small, dark emerger.
Didn't get much beyond the sewage plant before I had to leave but it was a very pleasant beat, it helps to be able to cast better than me though!

Lovely evening for a quick stop on the way home - 3 wbt 6-8" on a black klink - first ones off the top for the season. Connected briefly with something that felt considerably bigger.
