a quiet afternoon but windy, no takes left around 6pm possibly before they switched on

Oh dear, set out quietly confident as have usually managed to catch fish here- but then only 2 takes, nothing to the net. Darn! Weather v. bright and windy so fished the sheltered shady bits as much as possible. Dries all day.

6 Trout, 1 Chub

Evening session started at 17:00. Plenty of insect life with fish rising here and there. Managed five trout to the dry fly until rain stopped play around 20:30.

Three wild brown trout on dry fly. A few fish rising but did not fish past 6pm.

Quiet through the day but nice rise during the last hour of daylight.

First time at this beat, and very lovely it is. Warm sunny day. River was very coloured - almost a washoff, so no chance of any dry fly action. I decided to persevere with nymphs.

8 Trout, 2 Grayling

We fished from around 4.30 until 9 and experienced a steady release of flies without any intensity. The fish seemed to be slower in coming to the surface than we viewed the previous night. The day turned out to be colder than expected when the intermittent sun dropped. We had a couple of fish early evening on large mayfly patterns.

3 Trout

Only fished late afternoon and evening. The fish were slow to start rising but when they did several takes on mayfly patterns. Weather a bit cold and breezy in the evening.

River a little high and coloured tried nymphing after advice from successful angler but none caught.
