The eagerly awaited lunchtime hatch of March browns was postponed until 2.15pm but this sparse hatch did stimulate a rise. Hooked 3 fish on a dry March brown and managed to get 1 to the net. Other fish caught on a copper John.

1 rod fished spiders - single trout, the other a dry fly (Jingler) accounted for 3 including a 1.5 pounder .
Rain held off until later so a warm still day with plenty rising mid pm.
Lovely beat, very accessible.

6 trout, two to 16 inches. Three on the dry dropper, one on the dry (klink), and two on the euronymph.

March Brown hatch 1310 for only around 10 minutes, but chaos for that period. A slow trickle hatching off 1230-1600.

March Brown hatch and fish caught on dry Jinglers at the top of the beat. Unable to tempt anything outside the short hatch period.

Struggled with the wind, missed and lost a few, but nothing to the net.

Good hatch of March browns around lunchtime causing significant interest. Rose several fish on dry March Brown pattern but only got one to the net. Other fish on Copper John and shrimp pattern. All fair-sized fish in good condition and returned safely.

A fabulous day due to a good hatch of March Brown around midday. A two pounder closely followed by a three pounder - both in very good condition. After about 2pm the fish want into hiding - didn't see another one all afternoon.

River at a perfect height and running gin-clear. Bright and sunny (14C) with a cold breeze from the east, which got stronger as the day went on. Teased a couple of small BT from the shallows at the top of the beat on PTN. Around mid-day a sporadic hatch of March Brown began, lasting about half an hour. Took one from the tail of the lower pool on a dry MB and missed three other takes. As the cold wind picked up, the action stopped. Called it a day around 15:00 hrs

Warmer than of late and sunny, but with a cold east wind. A quite intensive hatch of large dark olives and a few March browns around midday. 4 x trout on various spiders. Plus a large one lost because the incompetent guide left the net back in the field!
