Grateful for the weekend rain restoring this stream to a very fishable height. Very little fly life and consequently very few fish rising. Persisted with a dry fly (Iron Blue and Adams Para, everything barbless), casting at likely fish holding spots. Managed 8 wbt, all over 8" and one handsome fish of around 15". All fish returned safely.

River low and clear but fish were occasionally rising in the first pool but I could not tell what for. Decided to stick with dry fly, a tiny tups indispensable. Attracted no interest in the almost static pools, I guess even the light leader was easily visible. However, fish were willing in the streamy and fast runs - landed 6 to 11”, and missed many more. A lovely day working upstream.

River was very low meaning the trout had eyes in the back of their heads. But a stealthy approach eventually brought rewards. The top section of the beat in particular had a few feeding trout in the deeper pools. 14 fish in all: about half small but also some bigger ones up to a gnats short of a pound. A vintage day of fishing a very beautiful beat.

A couple of hours on the Edw with AP. Water cool and shaded, a tad low but fishable. Plenty of fish 5 to 11 inches. One surprise monster of 15 inches on virtually the last cast! Brilliant stream.
