Lovely to be out but a really tough day. Many pools seemed devoid of fish!

First outing of the year & lovely to be on the river again. Caught & released 3 trout (best around 13") and lost two at the net. Fishing was hard going until 12.30 & all fish were hooked / caught between then & 2.30pm. A very brief hatch of olives (looked like LDO but my entomology is somewhat rusty these days!) at 1pm but not a single rise.

1 small brown trout caught on wet fly and released back to water. Many thanks.

Bright and clear day with abundant fly life, but tough fishing.

River was too low for salmon.

I used downstream wet fly and nymph, and was surprised not to catch any as the water looked just right. Saw some rising in the slower water, and had a few 'pulls' which didn't hook themselves.

Post cold front bright day, dry and cool. Prolonged light hatch of light coloured size 16 mayfly though not many being taken from the surface: a dozen rises during the whole day. One 8" brownie taken on dark nymph at end of swing. Lovely day on the water and a very nice conversation with the owner of this stretch. I'll be coming back!
