Nice beat - mixed water with glides for spiders, flats for dry's and rapids for nymphs. The river was a decent height and running clear. The weather was good, generally sunny with some heavy showers later in the day. Warm with a gently south easterly.

Some olives coming off between 10am and 12am but very few rising fish. Found two close to each other - waded in up to my eyeballs, covered one who rose for the fly - missed him and he spooked the other one.. After that not much found. Did catch fish in the faster water using tight line nymphing techniques and jigging a lure about. Not my preferred way to fish but needs must! Perseverance and trying different methods paid off today.

Blanked. Very cold. No hatches

Reasonable hatch of LDO'S but very few fish rising.
Hooked 3 fish but only one came to the net.

Not a lot going on hatch wise. A few LDO's coming off about 12.30 pm and the odd fish rising but I was unable to tempt any.
The only fish taken was a brown about 1lb on a nymph.

No joy, I’m afraid. The conditions seemed pretty but no hatch observed and didn’t see any fish rising. Not interested in a variety of nymphs.

One 1lb brown trout caught on a size 12 nymph, both fish and river in super condition.
