Nothing caught one seen rising but could it be tempted. A really lovely place to be but very tough to fish

Really nice spot though the canopy can be challenging at times wading was pretty easy and was no more than thigh height in most of the lower half of the beat. Due to the tight overhead vegetation, 7' really is the top end of rod length on this beat. Fished from 11.30 - 16.30, river was low and very clear. Spotting fish was pretty easy and saw many ranging up to about 10", some rising. First time out this year and with a brand new fibreglass rod, my casting was pretty shocking at first. Decided to fish the lower half of the beat twice as there were some nice ones I missed the first (and unfortunately second) time around. Finally got one 6 incher to rise to my size 16 CDC and Elk Hair Caddis mid afternoon - I rubbed his nose but I think he still went and told all his friends. Great day out nonetheless but if you are easing yourself back into it, I would recommend a beat with less overhead vegetation.

nice little jaunt, very low and clear water. caught my first 12" trout early on in the first deep pool, and had a take from another bigger trout. Only for a dog encouraged by his owner to jump around the pool 15 feet up from me...from then on i had nothing, still a good day.

water very skinny, wintery showers, one very silver troot which looked as much like a peal\finnock as a wbt. Great to be out but prob won't be back until there's some more water

Fished upstream March dry and olive pattern to begin as spotted a few trout rising 4-6". Switched over nymph after no rises to but didn't get any takes. First time out on the beat and some very large trees in the water preventing wading upstream, nice weather. Must be my technique is lacking as there were definitely fish on the feed.
