A good days fishing again on this beat. Nine fish caught altogether. A few were hooked but lost, and I had many other very quick takes that I didn't connect with. Fish caught in Abernant stream at the bottom of the entrance gate, in Alexander's and at the very bottom of the beat. Most fish caught were small with the exception of one lovely brown trout. (See photo) I fished various spiders with a GH Hares ear on the point.

If the previous return claims catching 16 trout is a 'score draw', then we were comprehensively defeated today with a big fat blank!

The beat itself is beautiful and offers a good mix of fast runs, flats, gutters, and riffles. At approximately 1.5 miles it's almost impossible to cover it all in a day and we didn't get to fish the upper reaches. As many previous anglers have attested, the river here is dominated by treacherous bedrock, making the wading very, very tricky and not for the fainthearted.

Conditions were pretty good, temperature was around 20c for most of the day and the river had a tinge of colour after the rain last week, however, we saw very few fish rising throughout the day and no hatch materialised. We tried a variety of methods, and aside from tempting one decent fish on a dry which came off after a few headshakes, it was a frustrating day.

Warm day, few rising fish . Moderate breeze. Managed to get one good sized trout on a black cdc. No other fish caught.
