Beat easy to get to. One small trout caught. Cool dry day. River conditions good. Saw couple of fish rise. Would fish again.

Very little happening though lovely beat

Very hot day out today with very little wind.

My first time out on this beat and sadly I blanked, I did manage to hook a fish early on but unfortunately it threw the hook before I got it to hand.

A lovely beat with some very deep pools.

Water low and gin clear, the few fish were too easily spooked for my humble effort.

No fish caught. Only saw one fish during the 5 or 6 hours of fishing. Looked promising but water very clear and still low.

9 x trout 6-10 inches, Parachute Adams. An early evening session for a couple of hours on just the lower section of the beat. I think this was the hottest day yet.

Less than ideal conditions, extremely blustery and the glare was awful. Most trout 5-7", one corker chased the nymph out a riffle, roughly 9". Another 10 fish hooked but all came off, barbless hook was particularly slippy today. Hares ear nymph under a dry used, almost all fish from the heads of the pools. Not a touch in the first 2 hours, in fact nearly all fish from the upper half of the beat. No takers for the dry, and only 2 rises seen all day. First visit to this beat and it did not disappoint, didn't see a soul all day, beautiful landscape and a very decently sized stretch of water, didn't quite realise how far upstream I had fished and was absolutely knackered when I got back to the car. One thing I would say is it isn't clear the best way to return to the start of the beat, no obvious paths or styles in fields and overgrown banks make it impossible to walk alongside the river the entire way, leading to an obligatory cross-country stomp inland.
