Almost a wash-off. At first I thought it was perfect and that the water would fall during the day, but as the afternoon went by it didn't and it seemed to get a lot muddier too. Wading hard work, but I kept hoping.

Did not fish Saturday or Sunday due to extreme access to the River to dangerous for a 80 & 60 year olds.

Fishing Passport Note : Access on the rivers during this spell of very low water can be more of a challenge than usual. We are always happy to advise on fisheries that are suitable for all abilities.

One on a nymph and a beautiful young cock fish of about a pound and a bit on a dry. Large hatch of March Browns turned them on for about 45 mins at midday. Numerous takes but only one stuck. The afternoon was very quiet. Packed it in at 18:15 after falling into the drink and realising there would only be hyperthermia and misery in my future.

Only able to visit for a couple of hours. Bright and cold wind and very little rising despite quite a bit of insect activity. No success but a nice stretch.

Saw a few fish rise downstream of the bridge. Can a pull but nothing came from it.

High wind gusts against me made it challenging, very bright and low water but a few fish were moving to March browns. Alas I missed a couple of rises but lots of fun trying. I’m a sucker for a nice fishing hut and the beat was well maintained with good access.

Better day today only a few march browns around. Only a few fish rising today but still managed 2 on the spiders and 3 pulls too! Very hot for time of year.

Saw a few rises but nothing came from it. All by the bridge. Lovely evening

3 brown trout caught but all lost whilst playing them much to my frustration, all due to jumping and head shakes. Further 3 pulls on the spiders too. Massive day full of match browns, at times I had at least a dozen covering me. So many fish rising for all the match browns, not interested in my dry fly, just too much choice!
