Very bright sunshine made fishing difficult. had 3 rises to a d.h. emerger, landing one trout of 11 inches, lost one and missed the other.

I returned the 10" trout i caught on a size 16 PTN i tied it, with a little piece of lead wire to sink it. i had another take i missed, both in the late afternoon. The river was fast and slippery wading (wading pole needed)with over hanging trees ( roll casting-good fun!) I found trout, over shingle/pebble river bed (in the middle of the river) and not over big rock, which i suppose makes sense- long gutter to black hole swims . I found the fishing hard, but its beautiful river and enjoyed my day.

Heavy rain the day before led to a plug of water coming down river overnight. Although dropping quickly as we arrived we were faced with coloured water which made this beat effectively unwadeable. River height and clarity improved during the day but weather conditions didn’t with strong down river wind, heavy rain and an intense hailstorm. Despite there was the odd ldo coming off now and then and a brief hatch brought fish to the surface which refused our offerings. End result was 2 fish touched with one about 12 inches landed, taken on a deep run tungsten nymph. Cold and tiring but still a pleasure to be on the river.

Bright conditions with a blustery down stream wind. Only saw a couple of fish rising all day and fly life was sparse except for the odd grannom. Tried every tactic but the fish weren’t interested. Very nice beat which I’m sure in different conditions would yield good results.
