Near perfect conditions, warm , no stiff downstream breeze ( unlike yesterday), sunny but with cloud. Flies in abundance.

Started with a dry and a fish took it first cast, unfortunately I didn't connect but the omens were good. But...… that was the last take on the dry . Water level was quite low so I crossed to the other side , the run further upstream has been very productive in the past. Continued with a dry but no takers. then switched to a klink with a nymph, took 2 trout one of 8 inch and a nice fish of 12"
Waded back across but no luck with the klink and nymph Switched to a team of spiders with a beaded hare's ear nymph on the point. No luck in the lower section but waded back across and caught a nice Grayling of about 15" and trout of similar size.
No fish rising at all.
Intended to stay late for an evening rise but wind came up and temperature drooped so headed for home.

3 Trout, 1 Grayling

River level getting low enough for significant amounts of weed to be showing, a flush through would be welcome. A warm sunny day with plenty of fly-life evident including some yellow mays, but no fish taking them off the surface, or just below for that matter. Weighted nymphs accounted for six trout and one cock grayling all from the faster, oxygenated water.

First time on this beat. The wading was a little trickier than expected, but manageable with my home-made wading staff. The river was low with little flow in sections. Plenty of hatches: olives and yellow may - although strangely enough, I took both fish on a Caddis Pattern.
1 x nine-inch brown trout (taken on peeping caddis jig)
1 x grayling. As it was OOS I put it back quickly without measuring. But it was a chunky beast. (taken on Klink Caddis Green)
Unforecast rain stopped play at 4 p.m. so I couldn't add to my tally, but I'm happy enough with this pair.

Note: If the chap from Cheltenham who shared the beat has lost a Grey's fishing reel case, I've picked it up and can post it, if he gets in touch.

We caught 3 trout (one of 14 inches)and 2 salmon parrs on the wet fly. The successful fly was the dark moorgame.

A beautiful day on a beautiful beat, cloudless skies and very warm, masses of fly life but mostly in spinner form, very few flies actually emerging today but I did see one Mayfly, one or two Large Brook Duns and a few other upswings and caddis but rising trout were few and far between and quite small. Nevertheless I persevered with dries and took 6 trout and missed/lost a few others too so it was a lovely day on the river.
