A truly delightful day with glorious weather and no wind. Surprisingly, we did not see any other anglers on the water.

In the morning we found a gentle long glide where trout were rising feeding on minute olive emergers. Stealth, extra long leaders and microscopic flies were a must. We managed to tempt a couple of fish after numerous casts.

We changed tactics in the afternoon looking for rises in the more shaded areas, underneath overhanging trees on the opposite bank. It required patience and more challenging casts but our efforts were rewarded adding 5 more fish to the tally. Also managed to capture the hatching process of a Large Brook Dun which was fascinating.

A memorable day when nymphs were intentionally left behind. As a famous fishing writer once said...it is not how many fish you catch, but how you catch them. Thank you WUF. We will be back again.

we had never fished this stretch before. its an absolutely stunning stretch of water. wading is tricky as described and access points can be quite hard to find. there were a few fish rising but none interested in our flies. we tried dry flies and some nymphing but nothing was biting. will definitely return again though as the fish we did see looked stunning.
