A cold dull day for June and a pretty lifeless river until about 6pm. Nymphed a bit and then had some nice fast action on dry flies 6 to 7ish. Caught two, missed three. Lovely beat though. Looked like a lot of fishable water and a beautiful quiet spot. Really enjoyed my day.

Sunny start with slight breeze and a 16 degree water temperature. I picked Wyebank for the season start as the water channels through a fast run so when the rest of the nearby stretches are sluggish there's always oxygenated flow here. You have to walk the croys or wade to get to it. Not yesterday as it was 0.7 at the start and all but a metre by the time I left. It's not an easy place to fish in high water. That said I had 5 chub over 3lb and a £ and half lb barbel and lost a couple, and the only 90g feeders (GB and big pellets) I'd brought with me in the very rocky bottom mid river. Still a very enjoyable day and SO good to be back!

River rose about 0.3m overnight and it was pushing through quite strongly. Had a small chub and 5lb barbel in the morning but then it went very quiet before I had to leave at 5pm.

Lovely day, beautiful setting, slow fishing, very snaggy!
