Beautiful venue, and easy to access the beats upstream of the bridge. No sign of any fish rising or feeding below the surface. Fished nymphs up as far as The Wall pool in the morning and dries closer to the bridge in the afternoon but no luck again.

Nb parking where suggested is not possible due to road signs and bollards, much better on the road, a safe distance around the corner from the bridge.

Warm and generally overcast with little wind. River low and clear. Not many showing fish but interest in the nymph with most Brownies being small, largest about 1lb. 2 decent grayling of approx 2lb from the deeper water.

Weather unseasonably warm and river very low. Good hatches but very little showing. 1 Graying on nymph about 1lb.

Did not fish. No point in travelling 100's of miles with the gauge as was on cam. Still, that's March for you....

River rose slowly through the day and was colouring slightly. Wading stick was heavily in use and this beat has some pretty tricky wading with large boulders and deep pits. Not for the faint hearted when the river is pushing through.
Fished 11am to 3.30pm. Not an insect, nor a fish to be seen. Met the owner who had friends fishing at the weekend who did well, but not for me today. Fished my 10' 3WT upstream with a couple of very small bugs on and weighted down with a twist of lead. Top half of beat well tended, but a bit of a scrabble over fallen tree on bottom half. Easy parking and easy access generally. Nice day out, thanks!

Arrived at Gregg's, had a coffee, and a roll then headed down to the river which was gin clear and a great height. We fished the French leader, taking our grayling in the deep tail out. On 2 occasions Shaun and I had fish on the same time once we found them, was more than 1 there! Thanks to Richard for a great days fishing
