Conditions seemed perfect - lots of flies hatching too - but this was a hard day's fishing. I caught one on a dry and one on a wet

Not a bad way to spend a Monday! Caught my first wild trout and my first fish nyphming. Lost a couple more and while a fairly short window lots of rises. Beautiful stretch of water and if your lucky enough to see the owner Shawn when your there he will show you the best places to fish.

Not a tickle

Bright day, but still a quite cold. River running, with just a hint of colour. Two on the nymph, PTN it olive, under a Klink. One on the dry (deer hair emerger) at 1240. A very brief hatch, of a few March Brown, but nothing at all prolific.

The beat is very tough to fish for most of the length, being an outside bend. But the top 200m is excellent dry fly and nymphing water.

Glorious afternoon. So nice to finally get back by the river, again. A few hatches, nothing rising, no fish seen apart from some small fry in the shallows. Water high and running strong, a bit precarious wading, so mostly fished from banks. Many thanks. Peter

Day 1: Three of us ventured out taking advantage of the high barometric. Glorious weather, sunny, low wind, ideal for casting. Strong sunlight is something that fish do not prefer but it is not so much of an issue in early Spring. The water temperature was 8C. Still on the low side but as the day warmed up a trickle of large dark olives and March browns started hatching after 12:30'.

As usual, fish were difficult to tempt requiring very long leaders, constantly changing flies and delicate presentations. We managed 7 very lively trout, some on dries and some on spiders. A memorable day out in peaceful surroundings.
