River coloured, very cold. Only saw one March Brown hatch mid afternoon. No fish showing whatsoever. Fished upstream, downstream with nymphs, wets and dries to no avail. Quite a lot of agricultural litter trapped in bankside shrubs (sacks, twine, tyres, etc). Wading mildly uncomfortable due to depth, flow, water clarity and river bottom.
Would still fish here again, but when it's warmer and clearer (so fish could be seen) with a better chance of a hatch.

Glorious early spring day after frosty start. No sign of any hatches/rising fish. Unable to tempt anything to take the variety of nymphs offered.

Dank overcast day, no breeze & clear river (what am I going to use as an excuse!!!! maybe the Otters Holt at the far end of the beat!). Worked my way back from the far end of the beat upstream without success. Reached the section just below the Bridge where fish were rising caught 1 out of season WBT 9" and missed several others.

Caught two brown trout (8" and 6") and a 7" grayling, all with a Parachute Adams on a light 7ft rod. Weather was overcast with the occasional heavy showers and the water was quite coloured. Saw only a few rises but decided to fish with the fly anyway. Would have had had about 8 if I had more experience.
