Sunny day with a few clouds and a light wind for the most part

Very few fish rising, did try a dry fly for a while but gave up quite quickly.

I then tried nymphs of varying weight, and then spiders, no takers. However, when using a bead head nymph I managed to hook a six inch trout on the swing. So I tried it again, and started getting regular takes on the swing. But they were vicious pulls and I was relying on them hooking themselves.

I guessed that this was because the fly was at a certain depth, so I tried suspending the nymph at different depths under an indicator, still no takes.

So the only way I could get a bite was to swing a nymph across, and then hope. I hooked several better fish this way, but in the end the best fish I managed to land was about 10 inches.

A really odd day, presenting a fly in the most unnatural way!

We fished a good range of flies in the heat of a very hot day. 11am - 4pm. Far from ideal in such conditions.
