River up to a foot dropped back to 6 inches perfect, plan to nymph pocket water for couple hours and dry fly fish in evening. Started well with 3 quick fish, then went into missing take after take, often hooking for a second, then losing fish. Just not sure what happened really tentative takes. Dry prooved no easier with few rises demanding excellent prersentation. A win for the end of season trout. Loved it.

There was some insect activity but very little rising.
All the fish came to weighted nymphs. The result of the previous nights torrential rain arrived at around 2pm bringing the river up about 6 inches in 30 minutes, fascinating to see but pretty well put an end to the fishing. As ever a stunning beat to fish with the early signs of autumn in the leaves. Will look forward to being up here in the spring.

Only started fishing late (about 7 pm) caught one 12 inch fish on a dry fly.

Evening hatch didn't happen, lost a couple on nymphs.

Day started with a rather blustery morning, but things settled around 2pm. A couple to the dry fly, but eventually the sun became to much so switched to nymphs in the deeper channels which was a good choice. A lovely days fishing.

First visit to this varied and interesting beat, which was looking absolutely gorgeous in very rare summer sunshine. Not good for the fishing but certainly food for the soul. A few trout did eventually come out to play as the evening wore on and although it was never warm enough for a proper evening rise, we did manage five fish to 15", the best coming to a head and tail riser caught on Peter Hayes' Spinnermalist pattern. We will certainly return next April!

Fished the afternoon into the evening. Not much rising during the day with the odd olive coming off the water. Caught one of about 12ozs on ptn. More rises in the evening, not sure to what. Went through the fly box and rose and missed a few on various different patterns but couldn't determine what the fish were focussed on. Went away a tad frustrated. Pleasant day out.

Lovely, pretty beat (my first time here) but blanked, unfortunately. French nymphed for most of the day and lost 3. Not a lot of insect life about but maybe that's usual as the season progresses around here. Would like to come back and try again.
Thanks WUF.

Just fished for a couple of hours late evening. Fish started rising at about 10pm but they seemed to be mainly wee ones. Lovely to be out on a warm summer evening though!

Hot, low river, blank. Watched an otter from the bridge for 5 minutes.
