Nothing seen or caught. 3 feet of visibility and 1’6 on the gauge for most of the day.

Enjoyable day. River up a bit but clear enough to see where I was wading and plenty of fishable water therefore . Weather changeable and few rises. Caught the small brown on a pheasant tail nymph with red thorax in medium running water half way down the beat. Had few more bits on similar fly.

Aside from the briefest of MB hatches on arrival at 11.45 the river was dead. No further fly and no interest whatsoever in a variety of nymphs presented in some very fishy looking lies. Not helped by truly appalling wind, rain and slowly rising river. Looking forward to a return in more benign conditions.

Brutal conditions… downstream wind, hail storms, no meaningful hatch and no trout rising… except for one hungry fish sipping down a late afternoon trickle of olives. 19” and 2lb 12. Was worth turning blue for.

First time fishing the beat. Didn't catch but great fun getting to know the pools.

Arrived around 3.30pm 4pm water looked good clear . Very windy not trouble me to much due to high banks.on arrival immediately noticed a good continual hatch of both grannom and ldo's but no fish rising to these around 5.30pm 6pm a small hatch march browns still no rising fish. I fished until 7.40pm having only fished a very small amount of the water available to me I managed 3 browns on heavy jig head very deep. Met the owner who was very obliging with information on access in / around houses. All details were correct and useful easy to find. However the recent big storms has left a lot debris and a lot of the yellow access markers/areas were a bit tricky to negotiate. On the whole a great bit of water. ( did see king fishers mandarin ducks padding from both mink n otter n badger deer slots and Canada geese tree creepers great afternoon
