A sultry muggy day, turned up at the bottom of the beat ..... was 18 in my truck, did a water test too in the day ... Reading 12 degrees on my thermometer ... First drama of the day saw a mink swim out to a rooty island .... I squeaked him in over he came in a rush.... I was like whoooooooooo wasn't expecting that!!!!!!! He stopped three yards away from me !! Then bolted... I watched him swim away ... quite leisurely!! I'll touch base with the farmer .... A job for my old bolt action .410 I think !!!!!
Anyway fun fishing today, did a bit of the top beat from the bridge up .... Great fun ...From midday, fish looking up properly then !!! Dry fly the whole beat .... wwweeeellllll, what else would one fish in June !!!! Lol .......
Fifteen maybe a few more to the net, usual stamp of fish for here ... eight or nine inches, with a couple perhaps ten or eleven inches ... . Fun on the dries here ... a good few risers from twoish as well .....
Tis just starting to green up with the low level and heat I guess !!!
Actually I'm writing this having a late lunch in the beat pull in, just seen the farmer, he's given me the green light on Operation Mink !!!!
A fun four hours sport nice to pass on my day to Stephen the farmer, ever so pleased it's fishing well ... we could do with a night of heavy rain to be honest ...mid week maybe ?????
Anyway time for home, and a bottle of something chilled out if the fridge, happy days !!!

A very disappointing morning session. conditions seemed perfect, the venue was beautiful, swims were accessible - but the fish weren't playing. We tried multiple swims and baits but only managed 3 small chub between us.
