This was the second beat I fished today, lovely place, lots of insect life, no rises seen however I did only spend 2 hours on this stretch. As the description says you can spend all day here, I managed to tempt a brown of around 10" out of a deep pool but managed to also loose it.

Lovely evening again in such a beautiful valley at Titley , Another big fish @ 14ins on dusk on a deer hair sedge.

Fantastic evening fishing. Trout came on for that magic 2 hours, 8pm to 10pm. caught on black klinks, deer hair emergers & pheasant tails. Couple of good fish at 12-14inches, most at 10inches or smaller.

Water quality fair. Weather better than expected. Very few rises and no fish caught.

Having fished the beat last month with plenty of fly life and no fish rising I planned to fish the afternoon and evening. However, after seeing the weather forecast I fished the morning into the afternoon. Plenty of flies hatching but only of couple of fish rising. Caught and released 5 trout all to a size 12 mayfly nymph.

Quite a poor day for fishing really. The weather was overcast and cloudy and rained profusely with heavy wind till about lunch time. It got brighter, but still quite windy in the afternoon.
I only saw 2 fish all day and had a bite from one of them, but didn't get it to the net. There was lots of flies coming off the water, including what appeared to be mayflies, but very little fish rising for them. An excellent days fishing albeit with poor weather, maybe I'll do better next time.

Running very clear with good hatch of stonefly and still a few mayfly about. Very little in the way of fish showing / rising despite the abundant fly life although only able to fish between 11:30am and 1:30pm. Small brown trout returned.

Cool and cloudy until about 3pm when the sun finally came out. Olives hatching throughout the session but mainly mid-afternoon and hardly any mayflies seen. About 5 trout seen rising one of which I caught on cdc dry fly (about 12 inches). Another one of about 10 inches was caught on a Copper John nymph by the weir.

A dissapointing day. Despite a good hatch of Mayflies (and Olives) 11am until 6pm, we only saw 4 fish rise the whole beat! One of these took an artificial and was netted (10"). We also fished the 'clink and dink' and a good fish was lost in the weir pool at the top end of the beat. Being our first visit we thought the river was fantastic with lots of 'fishy' lies and runs but reality on the day didn't match this.

Warmth at last. A good quantity of mayfly but a marked reluctance by the trout to take them. I only saw six fish rise all day. successful flies were the Iron Blue and a black Klinkhamer.
