Early start before it gets to HOT for me not the fish, 5 wbt to 8" some parts of the river very hard to get at , I need more skill and patience

5 Trout

Water levels low and and water clear. Even so surprisingly few fish rising in a steady mayfly hatch. Recent habitat improvement has made casting easier but speculation in many holes and riffles failed to yield the expected rise. Never mind it's still one of my favourite beats

Good 3 hour session plenty of fish rising. There were a lot flies including May Flies, Black Gnats and spinners. I landed 2 fish and lost 2 more on a wally wing May Fly.

3 trout on small PTN 1 on dry fly,all 6-8". Odd fish rising.

Fished this beat 2 weeks ago upstream of whats left of the bridge so decided to fish from the bottom of the beat up to the bridge this time, not much in the way of rising fish so i fished a small bead head nymph tied on a barbless jig hook underneath a klinkhammer. This resulted in 14 trout up to 10 inches and 1 Grayling that looked well over the pound all on the nymph, I must have missed all lost as many, fantastic sport on my new 6ft fibreglass rod. There is plenty of water to fish and quite a few deep pools. There were a couple of tree that had fallen across the river but i did not have much of a problem getting around them.

14 Trout, 1 Grayling

Fished above the bridge and caught 6 trout up to 10 inches on a nymph fished under a dry fly. Downstream wind made casting difficult at times and also missed a few takes to the nymph, nothing rose for the dry fly. Saw Kingfishers and a eel.

First time out this season. Not much activity but managed one trout by bridge. It was the only rise I saw.

1 Trout

Weather dull, grey,and misty. The stream was in good condition and the clarity of water was superb but unfortunately I did not spot any fish at all. There is a large tree that has fallen across the stream about 150 yards downstream from the bridge which I found impossible to negotiate.

(Thanks for letting us know - WUF)

Tried Chanstone again, fished much better than previous day, crawled to try and not spook fish....this time didn't see a fish or connect!! Water felt colder, but really felt that I would catch. Tried various Nymphs with long leader also dry fly as previous trip. Spooked predator birds of all species....!!
