Well , I bowled up at the lower beat of the Cammarch at mid day ish .... I did a split session here today, fishing six hundred yards of the lower , cutting out by the dust track that conveniently leads to the river from the chicken farm !!!!! I then fished the Upper, from The Trout Inn, fishing four hundred yards of that beat.... gin clear water today, and fussy finicky fish ..... prepared my dry flies perfectly ..... managed seven fish this afternoon, ranging from seven to twelve inches , and some serious leg work in too. Great fun, the Upper beat reminds me of my time in British Columbia .... awesome !!!!
As I mentioned gin clear water, I could see one cracking trout right out in two feet of water, i covered him, I thought he refused it, but a big head turn, and he lazily slurped in my dry like a big old common carp!!! .....and bang he was on ..... but sadly only for a few seconds!!! A superb wild stream fish too !!! And to rub salt into my already huge wound, it happened again !!! On and off , doooooh another really good fish too..... well, at least my presentation was bang on .... just tiny hook didn't set , you can't win them all .... lol
A really fun few hours on the Cammarch .... seemed like fish not as keen as the Edw brownies yet, but soon they ll be hammering dries in the bubble lanes....
Lovely to see the dipper bobbing around and doing its thing !!! Ohh,I actually only saw two rises the whole time I was there ...... and insect life, especially brook duns was pretty busy too !!! Right, homeward bound, a large cuppa and feet up me thinks !!! Lol !!

Couple of hours on a lovely spring evening, 1 oos grayling on a gold bead HE. Nice beat, just did from the bridge to just above the weir. Met the owners, very helpful and offered to turn the electric fence off. Will go back and explore upstream next time.

Very calm day with only the odd breeze. One fish on a black nymph and three on a midge emerger.

Nice stretch of water. A few fish were rising but no significant hatch. I caught five trouts up to 12 inches on nymphs and wetflies.

Felt like the real first day of the season. River still high but some sunshine and warmth. Small hatches of fly and some rising fish. Three good ones on the dry fly the largest a good 3lbs to Mssr Janicot.
