Good LDO hatch late afternoon for a couple of hours, lots of rising fish in the faster water.

2 in the morning on nymphs, the rest on dries during the hatch.

Water v low and clear, bright skies, easterly breeze, no hatch at all. We saw two fish all day, caught one. We loved the beat though and already plotting a return when conditions are a little easier.

The huge clouds of dust rising under our wheels as we approached the riverside parking looked more like Arizona than Gloucestershire, however the river looked spectacular; clear and sparkling. We had an early take in Stones, on a yellow/black goldhead and the fish wrapped me around a rock and slipped away. My fishing partner had a salmon swim past him only a few feet away. Other than that we contacted, nor saw, no other fish having covered the entire beat. Mick, the resident Ghillie, clarified the mystery of the Cottage Pool - there isn't one! There was years ago but the approach is long gone and reclaimed by the willows. So don't, as I did, try wading upstream to the cottage because it becomes very precarious and there is no reward at the end of it. Tight lines.
