1/2lb trout x 2 and one 2lb trout all within 20 minutes after lunch on a dry fly during what seemed to be some fluke magic hour. One of the most beautiful places I have fished in a long time

The river was increasingly chocolate coloured after starting around 5.30pm. There was a significant amount of sludge and algae in parts of the beat particularly towards the middle. Cattle also able to drink straight from the river.

Fished a range of smallish nymphs for a couple of hours to no avail although i spooked a number of fish so need to work on approach. Switched to a klinkhammer later on when the river seemd to come alive with rising fish. Managed to catch one around 10inch which fought well and was released seemingly fit and well.

I trout (10") on a CDC emerger pattern (barbless size 18 hook). I saw surprisingly few fish although this could be due to my wading clumsiness! Intermittent showers and sunshine with a little breeze. The highlight of the day was seeing a pair of otters!

The water was crystal clear and saw lots of fish moving. A good challenge to get within range and had two to the net and lost a few more. Great fun catching all fish on caddisflies mainly in the hour before dark.

Caught a trout of about 10 inches on an olive CDC emerger, safely returned. River conditions good and a modest hatch.

Lovely beat. Good conditions but I really struggled. No real rise until later in the evening but the water was so clear that the fish were easily spooked. A blank unfortunately but some lovely relaxation.

The water looked about right, but I only saw small trout. Fished 2.30 to 8.0. Caught one of about 6oz.

One trout c.1.5lb on a Klinkhammer from a run at the top end of the beat and 3 other 1/2lb fish. All returned.
