7 inches on the gauge, so quite low, clear.
V sunny first thing, then cloud in the afternoon - had to leave around 2.30pm.
Trickle of small olives in the morning, some mayfly mid-afternoon.
Caught one on a klinkhammer (one of only 4 fish I saw rise all day) and others on a small nymph quite deep.

Another lovely couple of hours at the top of this beat - this time in the early morning of a mild and dry day. River still high and slightly coloured after rain the previous afternoon. Again fished with the mayfly nymph down and across and caught 3 small wild brownies - all returned in good condition.

The river was at a perfect height and flowing clear but sadly the bright sunshine meant that hatches and rising fish were few and far between. In these conditions we were very pleased with our four fish of 17”, 16”, 16” and 14”, all but one caught on nymph fished duo style. The quality of fish on this beat is outstanding. Thanks also to the owner/WUF for the much needed repair to stiles since my last visit in mid April.

High-ish water; little rise, but some fish taking deep nymph. 3 fish, 12 to 14 inches. Close encounter with the otter!

My previous trip to this beat the river was high and coloured, this time it was just right.

The day started with some light rain, with rest of the day being cloudy, with little wind.

On arrival as it was raining I put on a nymph but four fish rising in quick succession, saw me change to the dry and after a couple of missed takes I had a nice plump fish in the net.

There were sporadic rises throughout the day, so I fished clink and dink. A couple more fish came to dry but I missed them, mainly because I just wasn't expecting it. The other two, including a lovely 15 inch fish, were taken on GHRE variant.
