I fished for a few hours before lunch and then again in the afternoon/ evening. There were no obvious hatches but the fish were rising to the top every now and then. I managed to loose a couple of hooked fish on the dry before I landed the a brown trout. A great days fishing in a very nice location.

Another superb session on the Kington beat , fished from eleven till just gone three , not as sunny today , a tad cooler , at about thirteen degrees and stacks of insect life about when I turned up , it was pure perfection , and in the first pool head , a splashy rise , ahhhhhhhhhh bliss !!!!!!!

Fished from the bridge , and initially fished a rusty Para Adams , great fun , and missed the first two takes , but soon honed in , and brought the first eight inch fish to hand , spot on , it went like that right up to the weir , when I had a chill out , and by then had brought ten to hand , lovely fish , all off the top on dries , ranging from seven to twelve inches , lovely colouration as always with these Arrow fish . . . . . .

I did venture on the beat above the weir , and in areas it's pretty blocked with wood , and tree debris , but Danica had put in an appearance and takes were very aggressive on the Para Adams , and at the head of a lovely pool , had two clinkers from the same pool , spot on , both about thirteen inches , and put a serious bend in my little six foot two weight rod . . . . Brilliant , and great to see mayflies dancing around , an absolutely fabulous four hours sport , with fourteen brownies caught , and several mistimed strikes , sport couldn't be better , a memorable day , spot on !!!!!!!!!!!

With the river at 9’’ I wasn’t particularly confident, but thought I’d fish the low water marks. No more than a couple of trout in the Mill Stream. Tried the Neck of the Rectory, 2 more trout and then at the bottom of the run saw a flash as a 14lb fresh fish took my size 12 Stoats Tail. Give a good account of itself with 4 or 5 strong runs before coming to the net. First fish of the season. Had a strong pull in the Rock Pool a little later, whilst on the phone to Stephen, so I’m blaming him for not connecting with that one!

Nice to be of the mark in what has been a challenging start to the season

Cracking day. Klinkhammer and small Adams worked their magic
