bright sunshine - not a lot of fish activity on the river - nothing caught

It was dry fly fishing day. All fish were returned back into the water in very good condition.

Always great to get back up here for a session on these cracking fish, arrived early to find a very light wind blowing across from the Christmas tree bank, fished the opposite side & picked up a couple each, but the wind wasn't to easy on us. Moved round to the Christmas tree bank & had a really good spell got another 15 fish between us before retiring for lunch. Picked up in the same spot after lunch & caught another 10 between us, finished the day on 29 fish, really great conditioned & well coloured fish, & they were a bit larger than the usual average here, so a great day's sport, & hopefully be back soon for some more, a mix of small drys & traditional wets did the business.

A lovely beat with the occasional rise but not consistent had a few pulls but sadly none caught
I would go back because on the right day you could catch a few.

Sunny and few flies hatching. Mange a couple with nymphs in the fast water

No fish today, but it was lovely to have a go. The lack of weed in the river is very concerning.

Started fishing at 10:30am. River in good condition and a few small up-wing flies over the water. Started with a Stimulator which took a nice trout from a fast bit of water. Around midday saw the first of a handful of Mayfly. Half way along beat noticed a good fish rise which I covered with the Stimulator, but no interest. Changed to a fan wing mayfly with success on the 4th cast only to loose the fish at the net. Estimate around 16" fish. The same happened a further up stream with another good fish. Last fish caught just below the weir. Off to Ireland next week so will try the beat again in early June.

Two rainbows & one decent brown ( about 1 pound, returned) caught on small buzzers. Variable westerly breeze, a few fish rising but not many. Water level still very high. Lots of evidence of fires / barbecues and associated litter.

Overcast may day, small number caught on large dark olive dry fly, predominantly wet fly.

Well thought I'd head to the lovely Cammarch again this afternoon ....up since half six ... lots of jobs nailed , and a good gym session too .... got to the river at half twelve , balmy twenty degrees abd sunny !! ... gin clear water, and like a lot of the Wild Streams at a nice height at the mo !!
Fished a Para greenwells and Iron Blue this afternoon .... fish looking up by two ... not really that much on the go .... I saw a few Large Brook duns and olives and rest was it to be honest.... ohhh the usual tiny gnats that attract the attention of small trout.... still fun to cast to !!!
Very aggressive hits when the trout do want your fly here .... they hammer it, hard as nails ! The Vinny Jones of the fish world live in the Beaulah stretch of the Cammarch !!!!lol !!
A fun few hours the fishing up past the metal footbridge is hard work and a gorge with a few trouty pools ... I couldn't interst anything in the half a dozen I put a dry in the foam lane .... not a sniff ... a long walk back but not toooo bad .... a pleasant and interesting beat ... I'll do this one again .... six made it to the net ranging in Size from six to ten inches... Great feisty scrappers.....Time for home and crack open a cool bottle of the Amber nectar.... loving this varied week on the streams..... lifes good sometimes, happy days!!!
