Taken mostly from the shallow waters under the bridge using dry fly midge.

6 Trout, 2 Grayling

2 smaller fish, larger ones were showing, but were not interested in my flies.

Bright sunny afternoon, fairly strong wind at times, spent the afternoon spinning close to the first car park using all types and sizes but blanked.

Caught 3, nothing over a pound. Lovely day fishing. Fish caught on weighted olive nymph, quite a few porchers there using worm and spinning, I talked to them and they mentioned they don't see a bailiff up there.

As a newcomer to fly fishing, this was my first experience of river fishing and caught my first wild brown trout aprox. 9" on a dry fly. Weather was sunny and mild with a cool breeze. Thank you WUF I will be trying other river experiences.

Morning session only. A beautiful day; sun with some light cloud; the river a good colour. Very little rising. Five nice trout, one to one & half lbs each taken on comparaduns (three) and gold-head PTNs (two). Beat recommended, although a few dog walkers here and there.

The river was very low, and flow was slow in the pools. Weather conditions were bright and sunny, although the temperature was lower than the previous couple of days. No fish were observed moving, despite mayfly hatching.
There was also a considerable amount of silt on the rocks and stones on the riverbed, indicating run-off upstream has been carrying a significant amount of soil into the river.

Only spent a few hours on the search for one of the big Browns which are certainly on this beat. Managed to find two good fish but luck not on my side today, as both rose to my Elk Hair Caddis and felt the hook, on for on more than a second, and disappeared after than. Can't win them all I suppose. Better luck next time. Did manage 1 good sized Grayling about 16 inches.

Beautiful day - sunny and 14C with (unusually) no wind.
The bottom of the beat is mostly shallow water and I've never seen much moving there. Further up, there are deeper pools and these are well worth the effort. Easy wading.
Three pretty brown trout (2 x 7" and 1 x 5") brought to hand and released and three times as many takes missed. Hooked what felt like a substantially bigger fish but it broke my 6X tippet on its first run. All fish came to a Para Adams.
