Autumn has suddenly arrived and the early morning and dusk temperatures have dropped. A lovely day again here with trout in abundance. I'm still lost for what they are taking. I had two bites from my favorite nymph, but nothing else. I must renew my strategy for next season. No sign of salmon. It's getting late in the year now. Maybe some rain will help.

A wonderful day's fishing: the forecast rain did not arrive and the weather was perfect, cloudy with sunny patches shining through. Most of the fish were taken in the big pool under the A40 bridge and the long pool just below the parking place, both of which, with the river at this height, are wadeable almost throughout their lengths. I took 1x 2lb or near, 4 lovely fish at 15/16", and the remaining ones were all 9 - 11 inches. All came up to the dry fly which in this case was a parachute Adams (16). The fish seemed to be rising all day and I fished from 10am to 5pm, still not reaching either the top or the bottom of the beat. This is a lovely beat with good access and relatively easy to wade.

A better day fishing for my brother who caught 6 x trout on a black klinchammer, the largest 1lb. I caught 2 trout on cats whisker. Chest waders are required to get to the fish.

Good days fishing,the trout were lined up and ready to pounce our flies. Although the fish were not big 6-12inch's,they were good fun on light gear and the pool under the road and down the bottom pool were boiling with fish. F-flies+emergers seem to do the buisness. Fished this beat twice in Last month, well worth a visit. Parking+access v.good.

Another lovely day on this beat. Cool in the morning saw the odd salmon leaping, but all was quiet throughout the hot and bright day. There were trout rising, but easily spooked, particularly in the calm waters. Caught a salmon parr. I also saw shoals of fry - hundreds of thousands of them, and had 20 sightings of kingfishers.

Bright day, few rising fish. Only one trout caught for 2 rods.
