3 mini trout, then 1 at 10" and an 11" grayling . Also had 3 three long distance releases between us. Had to work hard , warm and very bright with few rises. Most taken on the point in a dry dropper rig. 1x rod tip snapped, 1x pair nippers lost, free car wash courtesy of the fresian herd. Saw herons, egrets , kingfisher & dippers.

There wasn't much happening when I started at around 7pm apart from some barbel and shad spawning commotion. Things picked up on the trout front at around 8.30pm with lots of fish rising in the tail of the Rock Pool, leading to a frantic last half hour. This is much shallower nowadays, meaning you can wade a long way up from the Bridge Flats.
Landed 9 x trout and 1 x oos grayling all on cdc olive emergers. Nothing huge (biggest 13") but great fun all the same. First yellow mays that I've seen this year hatching too.

Low water, bright sun made for a difficult day. Both fish on a PTN top dropper above weighted GRHE from streamy water. Little fly hatch except for midges later on, nothing to my dry offerings. Spectacular river and scenery. Evening tickets aren't available until May which was not apparent to me from the website.
