Delightful stretch of water, though access a little dificult with waders. Weather was good but water seemed a little murky. Didnt see any sign of rising fish, managed to loose 3 in some of the deeper pools. Great fun.

3 fish to the net in total. Lost a few others and seen a good few more. Water was low and clear and hardly any bugs coming off yet. Still a beautiful day on the river.

Minus 0.5 C on the car temperature guage as we drove past Lucton School at 07:00 hrs. A postively balmy + 2.5 C when we parked at Sned Wood 10 minutes later but, Jeez, it was cold in the river (especially when venturing past the Plimsoll Line).

The cold - together with the bright sun and the clear river - may go someway to explaining the relative paucity of fish. I finished up with 4 Grayling - including a very nice fish of around 1.5lbs - and 3 Trout. All on nymphs. Sporadic dry hatch in the afternoon - but I only saw one fish rise all day. Tom (who suffered a holed wader)will file his own report!

Catch = zero.

Very little sign of life in the water, but river was pretty low.

Beautiful day for walking & wading the river, if not fishing. A few small insect rises in the realy afternoon, but no fish following them.

Still beats a day in the office!

Despite the sunshine, the water was quite cold and there was only a very short rise about 3 pm for less than half an hour. 0 fish were caught. A beautiful beat but wading would be extremely challenging in high or coloured water

Prolific Grannom Hatch. 27 x Brown Trout to 13", 2 x Grayling.

Warm clear day after a very cold night. Set up around 11am with good hatch of LDO & Grannom, both of which continued through to 5pm. Caught 1 to the net, a very healthy 1 1/4 lbs, returned. Missed loads including hooking and losing 2 very sizeable specimens. Fished the duo upstream most of the day. Fish were taking the surface fly and the nymph. Fantastic day!!

A very intersting short stretch of water. 3 Brown Trout caught and released during a short 2 hour visit. Largest fish close to 2lbs.

3 small trout to about 8" and 2 grayling to about 1.5 lb., all caught on GHHE. No fish taken. Great day but unusally no fish seen other that those caught?!

Grannom hatch reduced by a cold and strengthening downstream north-westerly most of the day, but in between the gusts in the sun in the morning,they were emerging. Some LDOs braved the wind later. Very few fish rising all day but rising and non-rising trout and grayling taken on HE emerger. Most fish taken on PTN, weighted grannom pupa and Greenwell's Spider. 25 fish in all at the end of the session. Frozen hands reminded me that summer is definitely not here yet!
