River clear and 1'1". There were LDOs hatching in the am, but trout ignored them. But fish did rise later in the am to something much smaller.
Access to the river is limited at this height of water. Banks are steep or vertical ! The top of the beat is only accessible through a jungle of rafted-trees and branches, Himalyan Balsam, Japanese knotweed, nettle and brambles.
Lovely to see kingfishers and lots of sand martins that were setting up their colony.

Tough fishing. Only 1 caught

The water was difficult to access also because of cattle in the field. Some rising fish around noon. Caught three trouts on nymphs. I lost a good fish on an orange spider (hook bend up).

River very high

Blanked! Tough conditions - it was cold with a downstream northerly wind, and little hatching. Fishing was slow as a result but I did get a few bites on dries and nymphs, and was a bit unlucky not to land at least one - had three come off the hook. Although two also due to my early season rustiness - stumbled on round stones while wading/ fumbled line with free hand on two, they only needed a split second of slack line and gone!

Not fishable - washout

Very hard beat to fish. You can wade only 10% of the beat.
