Despite rain and gusty wind I managed to get a few trout to take dry flies or nymphs. Most of them managed to get off the hook before I could land them. An interesting afternoon and evening.

lovely coloured water coming off heavy overnight rain. deep fished mini lure best fish nudging 3lb. perfect conditions later for a hatch but no sign.

Small fish rising on a bright clear hot day. Wiser bigger fish holding up in deeper water and not interested in drys or nymphs.

Lovely stretch of water, I’ll be back when the temperature drops a bit.

Four small brownies to the net, two on a DHE emerger and two on a nymph fished duo style. I had two offers from one very large fish in some pocket water halfway down the beat, but it was a frustrating day which exposed my lack of skill with the dry fly!

There was a huge midge hatch all day which the fish were fixated on, and despite covering rising fish they refused my offerings. Tried a Proctor's APT, Griffiths Gnat, klinkhammers, and all sorts of emerger patterns, but I don't think I had anything small enough in my box to tempt them.

much warmer day than yesterday - many fish rising. I rose only three and missed them all! caught a 6 inch trout on a spider towards the end of the day.
