No fish! Two fairly inexperienced fly anglers fishing in fast, brown water was not the great ticket to success. We'll have to try again another day.

A welcome and enjoyable day with fish coming throughout the beat despite the low water. Three trout to 10” on an Adam’s early on, the others to various wets and nymphs, all quickly retrieved and released. There were only six juveniles. Usk Nailers and Cased Caddis patterns were particularly successful.
The highlight of the day came late on in the bottom of the beat. Worryingly, I thought I was into a grilse that might have crept up, after a solid take, but it turned out to be a thumper of a Chub of 4 1/2lb maybe pushing 5lb, which took a Cased Caddis in pocket water.

Twelve fish caught and many more lost. Mostly small fish, but two good-sized trout. Mainly caught on nymphs and spiders. All fish were safely returned. Very little insect life and no fish were seen rising. A very enjoyable day on the river.
