River healthy flowing and clear. 2lb brown off the surface on a black gnat, only fished for 2 hours at midday. But still a few rises whilst being sunny and warm. Fish Returned.

Enjoyable days fishing in a very nice location. Unfortunately due to my lack of experience failed again to catch anything. Lots of activity above the water almost all day but didn't see a fish rise till 16:45 and planned to finish at 17:00. Will definitely return to this beat.

I took a chance with the weather and was reminded what the weather man means when he says "the jet stream has dropped"! Hooked and lost two fish before the down stream blustry wind, driving rain and rising coloured water forced me to leave. First time on this beat which has lots of varied water and will be back for sure on a more settled day.

Fished with czech nymph downstream. Water was rather low. A couple of fish seen jumping but nothing caught.

The river was pretty low and crystal clear, along with bright sun making tricky conditions. Clearly plenty of fish in the beat when seen rising. Lots of Mayfly about, although fish only rose extensively for about an hour (very tricky to tempt and super spooky too) and the river seemed to go 'dead' toward the evening (it got very cool). Two trout lost right at the net! A great day had never the less. This beat is vast and very pretty. It contains a great variety of water in both open and wooded areas with good access all the way along.

Beautiful river but struggled to tempt a take. Plenty of LDO hatching and a few rising fish but all seemed fairly small and uninterested in anything in my fly box (perhaps it was the angler).

No fish caught. Day started wet but settled with intermittent sun and a breeze. Used a nymph to start with but changed to dry later in the day. Saw a couple of good sized rises in the run just below woods but they weren't taking. Tried grey Adams olive, and gold heads and wet pheasant tail. Still had a lovely day on a beautiful river however!

A difficult day, fine weather with good hatches but no fish rising. First trout caught on a red neck ptn fished on the duo early on. Other two fish caught late afternoon both from fast deep water at the heads of pools on heavy nymphs fished on a French nymph leader. No other fish seen all day, maybe still a little early this far up the river. Still an enjoyable day on a stunning beat.

Water low and clear on final day of 4 day trip for weary fishermen. All blank. Some timid rising but very spooky. Packed up early at lunch.
