3 trout to 14 inches. Almost no rise, and no action on nymphs, but spiders (and late-evening sedge) worked to an extent. Good flow of water (dam release?), and very slippery rocks!

Lovely beat but water quite high and difficult wading. Very few rising fish and fish caught on spiders.

Cloudy with showers at start of day, finished in bright sunshine. Lovely beat, lots of different water. I don't think I made the best of it today - some days are like that I guess.
All caught on nymphs.

Stunning beat with some lovely pools to fish. Fish rising from 1100 - 1600.
1 x out of season Grayling caught and returned.

Beautiful beat but river running quite high. All fish caught on pink tag. Will be back!

Water was high but falling, weather wasn't great. The beat is gorgeous and very fishy looking, in better conditions I'd be confident of a good day! All fish caught nymphing using heavy tungsten to get right down. Purple duracell seemed to do the trick. One of the grayling was around 2lb, rest of fish all around 1lb

River looked good and was dropping steadily but the water was quite cold. No luck; however, it was a lovely day in very beautiful spot. Fished with floating line and a fairly dense polyleader and tried a few tubes and flies sized 8 - 4. Had a red kite flying above me for a time, which was great to see.

We really struggled here, the river had some extra water but was clear enough. Much better nymphing techniques than we were able to muster needed. Just two rises seen, despite a reasonable number of sedges in the air. Apart from a couple of promising tugs, no action in 5 hours in the waters. Wading stick essential along with the felt and studs boots.
